Can you give some examples of mindful exercises that are short?

4-7-8 breathing or similar is a nice option (breath in 4 seconds, hold 7 seconds, out 8 seconds). I find 2 minutes helps you get into it more than 1.

Journaling for for 1-2 minutes is also pretty useful.


I opened my project with Anvil on a mac (without mouse) and I cant figure out how to open a local file. Skimming through docs and I didnt find it. A video would have been very useful here.

The only reason why I dropped (and Im not alone) using Zed is the arcaic UI sublime-like search functionality. Please revisit that part because I really want to use ZED.


This is actually the first time I’ve seen someone unhappy with search - can you tell me a bit more what you are looking for?

There is lots of room for improvement of course, but I’d love to hear what your desired search experience is.


When searching I get almost entire file snippets with the search content and scrolling through them would take forever. In comparison see Lazyvim or IntelliJ products search UI, (even vscode is OK, though it requires mouse a bit), you should be able to scroll through found lines, and while you do that you can see the surrounding context of the selected line.


This example can illustrate the point easier, one scrolls through lines, while having a preview on the right: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*1cwOdRcJ_Ix9RR4...


nvim+lazyvim+telescope (which uses ripgrep and/or fzf). Fantastic, that's the gold standard for finding files, grepping, looking for references to variables etc. Love it.


> arcaic UI sublime-like search functionality.

I've never used Zed, but Sublime is my primary editor specifically because of the incredible search functionality.

What do you use that's better?


Lazyvim or pycharm search functionality. Even vscode is better in that regard, though it kinda requires using mouse. (I love sublime btw, except for searching)


Absolutely agree, the collaboration features put me off a bit. I think it can very well become a very successful and popular editor without those features. Perhaps they can invest in those feature when they have a much bigger market share.


Refresh feature for the frontpage is now added on 0.1.3 (active by pressing r).


Thanks! Yes, Copenhagen :)


Very good feature request, will definitely implement next :)

(So for now, yes, press q to quit and run it again)


When launching it, the user can just wrap it in 'while true ; do .... ; done' and hey presto, 'q' is the refesh key.


That's pretty clever and works quite nicely (i just tried)!


I love simple solutions because my default settiing is usually to build out the hardest thing possible, lol


Thanks, I've been looking for something like this for a while!

Hope you don't mind a few additional suggestions/feature requests!

- Single key scroll up/down a page of text (can work around it on my laptop keyboard with fn-down but would prefer not to have to use two hands).

- Maybe customizable key bindings? (i.e, I'm used to hitting space to scroll down a page of text, and don't need to open the story in a browser so often)

- Key binding to toggle "best", or even better, filters to view only the top N stories (I use this[1] site a lot for that).

Thanks for the pretty good ideas. What already works is also the combination CTRL+F (forward) and CTRL+B(backward) which is provided by the underlying library (tview) and pretty standard vim keymap for that action.

But yeah keymaps should become configurable eventually.


I’ve tried this one and I found it a bit unpleasant UX to type numbers to select the story I want to read. (Hence I wrote something like hn-text that I can navigate/open articles using only one hand and visually)
