## About

Zed is a code editor built in Rust with a focus on input latency and startup time. It has multiplayer editing, an integrated terminal and language server support.

The bet is that responsiveness matters more than breadth of plugins, at least for the people it is aimed at.

## How the score works

The percentage is the raw share of swipes that went right, with no smoothing. Anyone can swipe without an account; each browser or account swipes a product once.
