Thanks to a work-in-progress Homebrew cask by Andi Péter (<https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram/issues/15#issuecomment-11159294>), I was just able to quickly install and play with the new Gram code editor (<https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram#gram>) – a fork of Zed with all the bullshit (AI, telemetry, etc.) removed that looks like it could be great editor to recommend both for people just learning to code (as I was, recently, to recommend for people learning Kitten¹) as well as seasoned programmers who don’t want to work in terminal.

And, as a bonus, it actually has a Helix Editor mode so if that’s your daily driver (raises hand), you can just use it like Helix (i.e., Helix Editor in a graphical shell).

If you want to try Andi’s build (only works on Mac at the moment and remember, you have to trust Andi):

brew tap petrosz007/gram-tap <https://codeberg.org/Petrosz007/homebrew-gram-tap.git>
brew install --cask gram

PS. You can follow the author of Gram, [@krig](https://goto.liten.app/@krig), on the fediverse :)
