toplevel-tag support finally, yay! I’ve been wanting to use it in window rules to fix some windows that don’t go into floating mode properly and title isn’t good enough to target them. Been waiting for it for months.

I used Zed for a few months a while ago. It feels quite fast, good extension availability even for how new it was, and offered a comparable experience to VSCode, but without the bloat. Sadly it quickly started going down the AI editor/LLM infested route and most development went into that, meaning actual fixes and improvements were getting slower (part of my reason for leaving it). It also introduced a few unwelcome changes to their ToS, starting the forks you see today. But overall it was a pretty nice editor, it gets out of the way and lets you focus on work instead of tinkering.

Had to stop using it due to an intense graphical flickering when running on Sway that took way too long to fix, so I switched back to neovim while waiting for a fix and just stayed there.

Regarding the API, Spotify does allow free access, but some content and features are restricted to the official apps. For example, personalized playlists such as Weekly Discovery, release radar, daily mixes and the like are not available and return an error. Rate limiting is ok for a personal use case with a custom api key, and maybe some small apps can stay under the limit; developer agreement is also quite restrictive, so they have a bunch of reasons to block you.

Source: I’ve used the API before and built a small tool to help me export my top listened songs and some recommendations to a list, nothing heavy but still made sure to read the docs needed just in case. Still managed to hit the rate limit with a few tens of requests in a minute, though the way they do limiting is weird and difficult to account for.
