A high-performance code editor developed by the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter. Built on Rust and its proprietary graphics engine GPUI, it offers faster response times compared to existing editors. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Multiplayer collaboration is the core feature. Multiple developers can write code in the same file simultaneously and share changes in real time. It supports both local environments and remote collaboration sessions.

It is released under the GPL-3.0 license and includes some Apache-2.0 components. It has a large community, with 93k stars and 11.5k forks. It is an active development project with a commit history of over 40,000 commits.

It is suitable for developers dissatisfied with the slow performance of existing editors or those who need to view and edit code in real time with team members. It is primarily used by developers in the Rust ecosystem or engineers who prefer high-performance toolchains.
