  4. lsp-ai

    LSP-AI is an open-source language server that serves as a backend for AI-powered functionality, designed to assist and empower software engineers, not replace them.

    Project mention: Zed: The Fastest AI Code Editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-07

    Unless something's changed, every AI-backed language server I've tried in Helix suffers from the same limitation when it comes to completions: Suggestions aren't shown until the last language server has responded or timed-out. Your slowest language server determines how long you'll be waiting.

    The only project I know of that recognizes this is https://github.com/SilasMarvin/lsp-ai, which pivoted away from completions to chat interactions via code actions.

  5. zee

    A modern text editor for the terminal written in Rust

  6. evil-helix

    Bringing the Helix editor to the evil side

    Project mention: Beginner-friendly, unofficial documentation for Helix text editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-01

    There’s also a fork called evil helix that uses more VIM-like bindings: https://github.com/usagi-flow/evil-helix

    Helix has been my daily driver for a few years now, and it’s extremely familiar if you’re coming from the LazyVim setup for NeoVim. I make a few mistakes here and there if I have to use tools with just basic VI binds, but you learn to juggle them both.

    The config is very well documented and it would be simple to rebind things too.

    Hope you give it a shot!

  7. llm-ls

    LSP server leveraging LLMs for code completion (and more?)

  8. xbase

    Develop Apple software products within your favorite editor.

  9. Stream
