Turning codebases into conversations
summary
Claims a code editor called Zed already supports real-time multiplayer editing and is extending CRDT ideas into a repository-wide operation-level version control that captures keystrokes and creates durable links to live code excerpts. Implements portals as live editable excerpts (transclusions) that stay linked as files change, uses a CRDB-like backend, targets Rust and a Mac-native UI, aims to interoperate with git, and plans to open-source the platform; prototypes are in beta and reportedly faster than VS Code.
