- Zed Industries holds weekly all-hands meetings inside Zed, where team members share updates, discuss metrics, and collaborate in real-time.
- Zed's mission focuses on creating a responsive, focused, and collaborative code editor, with collaboration being a core feature built from the ground up.
- The editor uses CRDTs for seamless, conflict-free collaboration, ensuring low latency and consistent performance regardless of team size or location.
- Zed's collaboration tools include virtual rooms (channels) for company-wide discussions, project work, and individual focus time, with features like screen sharing and built-in audio.
- Channels can be public or restricted, with roles like Guest, Member, and Admin, and are project-agnostic, allowing flexible collaboration structures.
- Zed's virtual office includes spaces for all-hands meetings, project-specific work, and personal focus time, mimicking an in-person office environment.
- Future goals for Zed include enhancing collaboration to be more continuous and integrated, linking discussions and edits directly to code evolution.
- Currently, Zed's collaboration features are in alpha and free to use, with the team actively hiring to further develop the editor's capabilities.
