Description:
Version
1.0 of Gram, an " opinionated fork of the Zed code editor ",
has been released. Gram removes telemetry, AI features, collaboration
features, and more. It adds built-in documentation, support for
additional languages, and tab-completion features similar to the Supertab plugin for Vim. The mission statement for
the project explains: At first, I tried to build some other efforts I found online to
make Zed work without the AI features just so I could check it out,
but didn't manage to get them to work. At some point, the curiosity
turned into spite. I became determined to not only get the editor to
run without all of the misfeatures, but to make it a full-blown fork
of the project. Independent of corporate control, in the spirit of Vim
and the late Bram Moolenaar who could have added subscription fees and
abusive license agreements had he so wanted, but instead gave his work
as a gift to the world and asked only for donations to a good cause
close to his heart in return. This is the result. Feel free to build it and see if it works for
you. There is no license agreement or subscription beyond the open
source license of the code (GPLv3). It is yours now, to do with as you
please. According to a blog
post on the site, the plan for the editor is to diverge from Zed
and proceed slowly.
