Welcome to nvimDev – a sleek, fast, and highly customizable Neovim distribution built by me,
Priyanshu Ranjan, final-year student at IIT Kharagpur. 🌟
This project started as a quest for the perfect code editor. While many Neovim distros exist, none had the set of plugins or keybindings I wanted(ofc this is not possible), nor did they offer a code structure that was simple to configure and understand. So, I decided to build one myself! 🚀
Most Neovim distros are either too bloated or hard to customize. The code structure is often complex, making it difficult for users to add their own configurations. That’s where nvimDev shines – it’s built to be:
- 🔥 Lightweight – Takes minimal space and RAM.
- ⚡ Fast – With lazy loading, your experience remains buttery smooth, no matter how many plugins you use.
- 🎨 Aesthetic – Get a beautiful UI experience right out of the box.
- 🖱️ User-Friendly – Simplified keybindings that make navigation feel like second nature.
- 🛠️ Easy to Customize – The code structure is neat, with separate folders for plugin configurations and core settings. Make it your own with just a few tweaks!
Whether you’re an experienced Neovim user or just a beginner looking for a powerful code editor, nvimDev is made for you! The learning curve is smooth and once you get the hang of it, it’ll feel like home. 🏡
Stay tuned for frequent updates as this project is still under development. 🌱 And yes, it’s free and open-source, written in Lua, and runs smoothly on any Unix system. Fast and Easy Installation. Use it anytime anywhere.
