Zed Industries, the company behind the high-performance multiplayer code editor Zed, has launched a GitHub Sponsors page. The page invites supporters to sponsor the project, which is described as 'code at the speed of thought' and is built by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. The sponsorship aims to fund continued development of the editor.
zed industries, the folks who made the fast multiplayer code editor zed, now have a github sponsors page. they're asking for support to keep building 'code at the speed of thought'.
Zed's move to GitHub Sponsors reflects a growing trend among developer tools to seek community funding. As a high-performance editor from the creators of Atom, Zed represents a significant new entrant in the code editor space. The sponsorship model may help sustain its development without relying on venture capital or enterprise sales.
zed going the github sponsors route is another sign that dev tools are leaning on community cash. since it's from the atom and tree-sitter people, it's a big deal in editor land. this could keep them independent and focused on speed.
