Zen is simply a fork of Zed for those who are happy to use an IDE free from AI, telemetry, and other cloud-based services. I use it as my daily driver and intend to maintain it so that I can also use it as the base for some non-developer tooling I want to create.
Only tested on Linux for now, though Zed’s support for other platforms should be (mostly?) intact.
What’s the plan for ongoing maintenance?
I’ll aim to sync changes from upstream about once a month. But given that I don’t have prebuilt binaries or anything, for now I expect only people enthusiastic enough to build from source to use it :)
