Second look at the Rust GPUI framework from Zed! Featuring web-sockets

In this stream we look at how we can get messages from a web-socket connection running in a background process, to update a view in GPUI.

Great! 💎 Looking forward for the next episode! One thing would be also great to have as an example: scrollable view.

True- good idea

Nice video! May i ask how did you learn to use the gpui Framework? I'm struggling to do a simple app and there is not much documentation to learn

[@duanebester]

Best thing to do is to join the Zed Industries Discord Server. They have a GPUI channel. Would also recommend checking out Matthias’ Loungy project on GitHub

1:36, you can run `cli: install` from the command palette, and then in the future, open directories from the terminal via `zed .`

Ahh yes, thank you!
