By controlling the full code-authoring experience, Zed also allows collaboration to operate at the granularity of individual keystrokes, rather than commits.
With Zed, multiple developers can navigate and edit within a shared workspace, making it easy to have nuanced conversations directly within the editor about any part of a codebase, whether the code in question was committed last year or hasn't yet been saved to a disk.
Zed combines the speed of a lightweight editor with the power and extensibility of an IDE, in an elegant and minimal experience with multiplayer functionality. “Zed is built for a new way of working in which conversations around code are richer, and interactions between developers are more human and connected.” “To bring conversations about code directly to the code editing experience, we’re proud to officially launch Zed, which we think of as a collaborative platform disguised as a world-class code editor,” said co-founder and CEO Nathan Sobo. While other teams have options like Figma and Google Docs in which they can collaborate in real-time, directly in their authoring environment, the dominant collaboration tools for developers still operate at the speed of email. The company is also launching Zed, its code editor built from scratch to treat collaboration as a first-class concern, into beta after a successful alpha development phase.Ĭurrently, software developers lack good tools for collaboration. The round was led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from existing investor Root Ventures as well angel investors including Dylan Field of Figma, Tom Preston Werner of GitHub, Spencer Kimball of CockroachDB, and Rahul Vohra and Todd Goldberg of Superhuman. Zed Industries, the maker of a high-performance, multiplayer code editor, today announced it raised a $10 million Series A funding round, bringing total investment in the company to $12.5 million.
