Async module in Lua for Nvim
For a long time, I have been searching for solutions for asynchrony in Neovim, but what interested me the most was the one provided by gitsigns.nvim. Therefore, I decided to turn it into a separate module to make it easier to use async in Neovim. I have already created some usage examples.

[New plugin] deadcolumn.nvim -- gradually show you colorcolumn as you type
Oh, the symbols are provided by gitsigns.nvim and I have set :h statuscolumn so that they appear to the right of the line numbers. The settings are done in plugin/statuscolumn.lua. I put custom single-file scripts under plugin and ftplugin, where they serve as light-weighted mini plugins, you can even find the prototype of deadcolumn.nvim there :)
