I wouldn’t hold my breath. GPUI is built specifically for Zed. It is in its monorepo without separate releases and lots of breaking changes all the time. It is pretty tailored to making a text editor rather than being a reusable GUI framework.
- volkk 1y agoi don't think that's quite true based on this repo: https://github.com/zed-industries/create-gpui-app https://github.com/zed-industries/create-gpui-app i think there's some desire from within zed to making this a real thing for others to reuse.
- jenadine 1y agoThat repo is to download a small template (why do we need a crate for that?), and it still pulls `gpui` directly from the Zed monorepo via a git dependency. That kind of setup is fine for internal use, but it’s not how you'd structure a library meant for stable, external reuse. Until they split it out, version it properly, and stop breaking stuff all the time, it's hard to treat GPUI as a serious general-purpose option.
- volkk 1y agoi agree that it's currently too unstable, but the point was to show they have intent in others using it. maybe it'll be later
