I found something cool for my notes-taking system: https://oxide.md/v0/Articles/Markdown-Oxide+v0. It's a Rust plugin for VS Code, Zed, Helix, and Neovim, and it does a lot of the same things as e.g., Obsidian.
I've been wanting a completely FOSS notebook that doesn't use Electron, and I like that this plugin splits up functionality: I can find the best text editor for my purposes without worrying about managing my "knowledge base" and then use the plugin.
The editor (Zed: https://zed.dev/) is also nice. It's written in Rust and uses some graphics tricks to be extremely efficient, so it opens *much* faster than VS Code. While it's pretty new, it does have plugins, plus it comes with language servers built in, so it doesn't need plugins for as much as VS Code does.
The main thing at this point is no debugger (
) but it's on the roadmap so that should be fine pretty soon.
@reillypascal Looks interesting, but not until they improve the platform coverage. It's OK if you're a Mac person, otherwise not so much. Sadly they appear to be even prioritising "AI" over broader platform support.
@ChrisWarwick yeah I don't like the "AI" stuff, although the explanation that they have is that that's what's bringing them money for other features. They have added Linux support and appear to be working on windows support, so since I like everything else about it, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
@ChrisWarwick at any rate I can use the same "Markdown Oxide" plug-in in VS Code, Helix, or Neovim, so if Zed doesn't work out, my notebook setup will be just fine
@reillypascal I tried zed for a short while, but it still feels raw. I plan to stick to vscode until I smoothly get the functionality of a substantial fraction of my vscode extensions. My atom to vscode transition happened when vscode's extension ecosystem started matching and surpassing atom's.
@escape_velocity fair enough. I mostly use Zed for Rust atm, and all I was using in VS Code was the "rust-analyzer," and that's incorporated into Zed by default, but there's a lot of stuff it wouldn't be as good for
@reillypascal LLMs above the fold => It's a No from me.
@reillypascal People close their editors?
@scottishwildcat fair enough lol
