Gram 1.0 released

Screenshot

This is the first release of Gram, an open source code editor with built-in support for many popular languages. Gram is an opinionated fork of the Zed code editor. It shares many of the features of Zed, but is also different in some very important ways.

Mainly,

  • All AI features have been removed.
  • All telemetry has been removed.
  • All collaboration features have been removed.
  • There are no terms of use to agree to in order to use the editor.
  • There are no subscriptions or accounts.
  • Development is slow and primarily focused on making the editor stable.
  • There are no automatic updates or downloads.
  • Extensions must be built from source and do not auto-update.

On the plus side,

  • Documentation is built into the editor.
  • The editor comes with built-in support for addititional languages like Gleam, Zig and Odin.
  • Vim Supertab-style completion.
  • Language Servers and Node binaries are only downloaded by the editor when explicitly allowed by the user.
