## 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. Rankings weigh that share against the number of swipes (a prior of 25 swipes at 50%), so a high score from a handful of swipes ranks below a slightly lower score from many. Anyone can swipe without an account; each browser or account swipes a product once.
