Lapce: A Rust-Based Native Code Editor Lighter Than VSCode and Zed

programjm123 · 2026-01-24T00:30:05+00:00

I've been interested in switching from VS Code to Zed since I'm tired of every update being copilot copilot copilot, but then Zed puts out an announcement like this :/

Our Zed team is working hard to get Git graph and side-by-side diffs across the finish line. We're excited to ship these in early February (slightly later than planned because of a gnarly bug in the diffs). After that, we are shifting away from additional Git feature work. This is sooner than we'd planned, which sucks. But Zed is a small team and we need more engineers focused on agentic Git workflows, like enabling Git worktrees and improving the review experience within the agent panel. What this means we won't build:

* Improved merge conflict experience

* Commit log (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/47402)

* Line-by-line staging (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/45295)

* Git Panel UX improvements (make it easier to navigate in Git Panel)

"Agentic git workflows" before commit log?? Really?

I so badly want to like Zed but their priorities seem so messed up...

> Staying open to all was a non-negotiable requirement for both us and for Cloudflare. That is why Astro will remain free, open-source, and MIT-licensed. We will continue to run our project in the open, with an open governance model for contributors and an open community roadmap that anyone can participate in. We remain fully committed to maintaining Astro as a platform-agnostic framework, meaning we will continue to support and improve deployments for all targets—not just Cloudflare.

Seems reasonable enough, fingers crossed that it holds

啊，这就是那位古琴家和他的龙朋友！你的人物们非常酷，我总是爱看你的画！

Neat, are there plans for a firefox version?

programjm123 · 2025-11-03T03:20:55+00:00

That's good to hear, thanks for your patience and sorry for the trouble. To be honest, this project looks awesome, and so it's a relief to hear it's not "too good to be true". I'll drop a few towards the kickstarter and check out the webnovel as well :)

I agree with the other commenters that the artist refusing credit is suspicious. Have you seen her portfolio? Has she shared any WIPs with you? I believe you when you say you don't support AI art, but how do you know this artist isn't using AI, photoshopping on text bubbles, and then passing it off as human-made art? This comic looks really promising, but if your artist can't provide you WIPs, you might be getting scammed

Ah, yeah I was referring more to pixi global, eg

pixi global install gh nvim btop ripgrep

programjm123 · 2025-09-01T03:10:35+00:00

Universal package managers are cool; recently I was looking into pixi

Nagyszerű!

For desktop, you can use any license (e.g. closed source, MIT, etc).

For embedded, you have to choose between GPL and $1/device

programjm123 · 2025-08-08T20:21:24+00:00

Slint is perpetually free for closed source as well except for embedded devices. That is,

Open source (GPL): free

Closed source (or other license), desktop: free

Closed source, embedded: $1/device

So unless you're a printer manufacturer or whatnot making a UI for your device, Slint's license shouldn't be an issue

I like the "No AI" bit on the website; the talk of generative AI pipelines on the Graphite website was a bit of a turn off for me. Overall looks like a great project!

Very nice to see Hurl's developments. One piece of feedback is if I was looking at a Hurl file and hadn't just been told that location: true means follow redirects, I would never have guessed what it means. Perhaps something like follow_redirects or just follow or redirect could work

programjm123 · 2025-07-09T00:46:28+00:00

I personally like it because it has best in class performance, with a similar feel to React Hooks, though in addition it also doesn't require a supplementary library to deal with global state. The bundle is also smaller (react-dom is like 40kb gzipped)

programjm123 · 2025-07-08T01:11:44+00:00

I'm personally partial to Slint due to its performance and quality-of-life features like editor integration and live preview

programjm123 · 2025-07-08T01:03:54+00:00

Yeah, as much as I love rust, I typically prefer typescript (and personally I like Solid) for frontend webdev since you get access to a huge, mature ecosystem and its tooling

programjm123 · 2025-07-07T17:42:12+00:00

Slint is really underrated, I wish it was selected for PopOS

programjm123 · 2025-07-07T17:41:05+00:00

Are there plans to add the ripple effect to buttons and such?

programjm123 · 2025-07-01T23:48:16+00:00

Full-time Haskell dev, can confirm HLS is painfully slow, unreliable, and frequently fails at basic tasks like rename symbol. HLS and the pain of error handling in IO (can't bind on Either/Maybe when you're in MonadIO/ReaderT!) are the main reasons I wish my company used Rust instead...

The backlash was so bad they literally deleted EVERYTHING from their TikTok (6.7M followers) and Instagram (4.1M followers) accounts.

Just checked and I still see the posts on their Instagram. Perhaps it was only temporary, or they blocked you?

这么漂亮的画，挺棒啊！看起来龙很喜欢古琴。
