Yeah, I think the project might be abandoned 😞

im afraid you're right, its a shame, zed is what I used when all I had was a chromebook. super useful

[zefhemel]

Yes. Zed is kinda abandoned. I stopped using it myself as I moved into management. And today with Chrome Apps being dead and alternatives like VS Code around, I’m not convinced it’s worth trying to keep this up.

I found the remote editor functionality really useful with Zed, just download a file and boom, you can remote edit, its a lot more lightweight than vs code is, especially when you don't have access to ssh

[zefhemel]

Right. Yeah that was one of the early use cases for me too. However indeed VS code now has something similar and more powerful, but indeed it requires direct SSH access whereas zedrem could even work from a private network with no inbound network connections. What can I say. I’m sure it would be possible to build zedrem type functionality as a VS Code add-on as well. I don’t have a use case for it, but I’m pretty sure it can be done.
