ZedExt
A fast, modern extension browser for the Zed editor — with rich READMEs, GitHub stats, and powerful search.
What ZedExt is
ZedExt is an alternative extension marketplace for the Zed editor. Zed's official extension page at zed.dev/extensions shows only a name, one-line description, and download count. No README, no GitHub stats, no version history.
We believe extension discovery should be better. ZedExt provides:
- Rich extension pages — full README rendered with syntax highlighting and properly resolved images
- GitHub context — stars, license, last commit, forks, and open issues so you can assess extension health
- Better search — typo-tolerant, faceted search with category filters and multiple sort options
- Version history — all published versions with dates
- SEO-friendly — every extension has a unique, indexable page with proper meta tags
What ZedExt is not
Not a registry. ZedExt doesn't host or publish extensions. Authors continue to publish via PR to zed-industries/extensions. We're a read-only browser of the official Zed extension registry.
Not affiliated with Zed Industries. This is an independent community project. We use publicly available data from the Zed API and GitHub.
How it works
ZedExt has no database. All data is fetched on-demand from the Zed API and GitHub API, then cached in memory. Search is powered by Algolia, with the index refreshed every 6 hours.
Built with SvelteKit, Tailwind CSS, and deployed on Vercel. Inspired by the architecture of npmx.dev.
