By
homebrewer
Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Zedless is a work-in-progress fork of the Zed code editor focused on privacy and local-first operation. The project aims to remove reliance on proprietary cloud services, eliminate telemetry and crash reporting, and prioritize self-hostable infrastructure. It allows users to configure their own service providers for network features rather than using default cloud services.
