Zed's Open Source Platform Launch

Zed's team has been developing their platform collaboratively and now plans to open source the software using Zed itself.

The launch will introduce public coding channels, allowing community members to watch, interact, and contribute to coding sessions.

Text-based conversations linked to persistent code annotations are being developed to facilitate asynchronous workflows and contributions.

To contribute to Zed, users can create channels for discussing their coding goals with staff and the community using these new tools.

Open sourcing Zed is an effort to enhance how contributions are coordinated, with an emphasis on improving the coordination process itself.
