Zedless is a privacy-focused fork of the Zed code editor that removes telemetry, cloud dependencies, and proprietary services. The project prioritizes local-first functionality, allows users to configure their own infrastructure providers, and maintains contributor copyright without requiring CLAs. Currently in development, it aims to provide a self-hosted alternative to cloud-based development tools.

zedless-editor/zed: (WIP) Zed fork focused on privacy and being local-first

I look forward to zedless vs vscodium reviews! Ideally using ollama for more privacy.

The weird part is, I never knew Zed had telemetry or cloud dependencies.
The marketing around tech is crazy.

About time. Every telemetry filled edition of something needs a Free as in Freedom one. ;)

When did we become so concerned about privacy every time we open an editor?
By the way, I 'm really looking forward to this editor.
