This week at Zed was quieter due to holidays, but work continued on various projects, including improvements to the collaboration UI, theme code updates, and addressing technical challenges. Nate focused on enhancing the collaboration UI, making native calls in Zed more seamless, while working on background noise reduction and audio source swapping. Antonio fixed issues following the assistant's release and improved Vim support, while Julia tackled a frequent crash related to multiple instances accessing the local database, implementing a check for existing instances via a network socket. Kyle worked on hardening the semantic indexing engine, preparing for a hopeful merge, and began exploring recent AI research. Piotr completed a project and branch switcher, collaborated with Antonio on GPUI adjustments, and added search marks in the scrollbar. Kirill shifted focus from larger tasks to smaller fixes, addressing inlays and keybinding issues, while Mikayla enabled voice chat on stable and planned the next steps for a livestreaming feature. Zed also extended an invitation to potential hires, offering an opportunity to contribute to the future of software development.
