nii-nvim:
a no-nonsense neovim configuration
Nii-nvim is a very minimal neovim configuration focused on creating a functional editor with a minimal amount of code. Nii-nvim also keeps the user in mind by being very extensible and well documented. Nii-nvim is finally out of heavy development, thus the project should be considered mostly stable
NOTE: Active development will be moved to my sr.ht repo for this project, It is prefered that you leave issues and patches/pull requests over there, rather than opening issue sand prs on github. However i will still keep an eye on github too.
Why nii-nvim?
There are many neovim configurations that exist (i.e. NvChad, Lunar Vim, etc.), however, many of these configurations suffer from a host of problems.
- Some configurations (like NvChad), have very abstracted and complex codebases.
- Others rely on having as much overall functionality as possible (like LunarVim).
While none of this is bad, there are some problems that can arise from these choices:
- Complex codebases lead to less freedom for end-user extensibility and configuration, as there is more reliance on the maintainer of said code.
- Users may not use half of what is made available to them simply because they don't need all of that functionality, so all of it may not be necessary.
nii-nvim provides a solution to these problems by providing only the necessary code in order to make a functioning configuration. The end goal of nii-nvim is to be used as a base config for users to extend and add upon, leading to a more unique editing experience.
Also the name is cute. (・3・)
