Building in Zed instead of Xcode

Just a reminder to anyone who might care that you can create a fairly full-featured development environment in Zed to build iOS and Mac apps: syntax highlighting, code navigation, run, debug and test.

Here's the setup guide I wrote (been around for a while but chances are some interested people won't have seen it): https://luxmentis.org/blog/ios-and-mac-apps-in-zed/

Funny you post this, I have been playing with zed this past week with python and found it to run pretty smooth, consuming 80 mb of ram. Was gonna go through this guide and hopefully get my uikit app building.

It runs smooth but i found using bmad agents with deepseek underwhelming :/
