dotvim VS SpaceVim

A lot of people shared minimalistic designs here.

Honestly, I think the internet got quite boring since the golden age of construction and unicorn gifs. I miss the quirky internet where everybody could just have their own little unique corner however they liked to build it.

When I redesigned my blog, I built it out of fun, maybe it will inspire somebody else to do the same: https://cookie.engineer

Honestly I don't think a low JS usage makes a website better. For me, I always cherished a separation of concerns approach, where I am trying to make a website work as good as possible with HTML and CSS only (including print stylesheets).

JS is for me where the fun interaction comes from, where the little details can shine through.

I don't have many posts, but some ideas in the pipeline that I'm working on. Planning on documenting a lot more about the hardware tinkering I am doing.

I also added a bunch of secrets and games to the website, with the idea that the source code can be used to explore and learn. There's even an unsolved crypto puzzle in there, but it seems to be a little too hard considering it's been unsolved for over 10 years now.

My dotvim repo [1] contains a statically archived version of all plugins, as to being able to work in case things upstream get unstable or aren't integrated yet with my config.

I'm using a copy of zen.vim [2] which is quite nice because it's basically a git clone which is integrated with vim's native plugin api.

I've also written some cleanup scripts, because people never learn it's bad to upload their readme gifs into the git repos ...

SpaceVim

On the vim side, you can try https://spacevim.org.

https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim There isn't much difference between a text editor and an IDE, so not sure if this is what you were looking for.

Hi, I'm new to using vim I followed the instruction from spacevim.org but this won't work..

You can find distributions with plugins for those editors, like Doom Emacs or space vim. These days, I enjoy doing (neo)vim configs (with lua). Both can use the language server protocol (with different plugins or natively in neovims' case) and so you'd get similar setups done like in code.

I'm considering picking up a pre-made configuration project as my Neovim daily driver, but boy, there sure are a lot of them. SpaceVim, CosmicNvim, AstroNvim, LunarVim, NvChad, and many more I'm sure.

Spacevim

The only Vim distro I'm aware of is SpaceVim (https://spacevim.org/). I just tested it for a short time but it couldn't compete with my hand crafted settings ;-) But I'm using some of the plugins of SpaceVim in my setup, eg. vim-which-key and vista.vim.
