@gmcd 💙 the concept of {jgd}!

ima make a golang standalone server for it and eventually bake the browser part right into it

@hrbrmstr @gmcd Ah, I was just about to do the same thing (thank goodness I checked out Mastodon!).

@eitsupi @hrbrmstr Happy to add you to the repo too. I think the main pieces are all there; it's "just" Windows support needed before we can submit. But helps to have multiple hands available for FRs etc.

P.S. I hope you noticed `arf` being used in the screenshot.

@gmcd @hrbrmstr When I asked Opus to consider it, they said that instead of maintaining the current functionality of jgd, we should fork it and create a separate configuration that uses an external server.

It might be a good idea to create a prototype...

My PoC.

(The name has been changed so that it can be installed at the same time as jgd.)

Looking at the actual result, it appears that there was no need to fork the jgd code since no changes were made to it 😅

@eitsupi @hrbrmstr Ha, nice. Do you want to add the Go binary/component to the upstream repo then? Again, happy to add you as a contributor.

@gmcd @[email protected] i do think it'd make sesne to pair any viewers with the pkg to help discovery. i may not be able to hack on it much (got accepted at a talk that's in early March) but after that I wanna get this up and working super well and figure out how to get a viewer pane in or adjacent to Zed w/it.

@hrbrmstr @eitsupi Cool cool. Sent you both collab invites. No pressure and can always re-invite later if that's what you'd prefer. But it's there if you have time/interest.

@gmcd @hrbrmstr Thanks, I've opened some issues...

@gmcd @hrbrmstr
Thank you.
Including a Go server in the repository could be valuable as a reference implementation.

As noted in the trigd README, more advanced features require C or Rust, but the Go server is simple and quick to compile, and I think it could be valuable as a reference implementation.
I'll submit a PR later to make it easier to connect to any server.
