sqlite.lua VS harpoon

I have been working on restructuring telescope-frecency.nvim. One of the biggest changes is removing dependency for sqlite.lua.

I'd like to share my first real attempt at a Neovim plugin and hopefully get feedback and help on how whether this is something others would be interested in and how to improve it. annotate.nvim is a plugin that allows you set/edit brief notes that are tied to lines in your code. It uses Neovim's extended marks for tracking the location of your notes and kkharji's sqlite.lua plugin to allow you to restore the annotations when you restart Neovim. I'd been experimenting with using scratch buffers to hold notes while working to avoid my habit of cluttering code with comments, but this felt limited. When I saw this plugin I wanted to see if I could combine the ideas to get something more on-demand.

I'm currently working on a plugin that, it appears, is going to require the sqlite.lua package. According to its own README, it would require a couple of sqlite system packages (at least for linux) in order for it to run. However I've also come across some packages that have sqlite.lua as a dependency, but they don't inform the user in the readme about setting up sqlite on the system.

If you need to persist a lot of files, you could use sqlite3 as database through something like sqlite.lua

legendary.nvim v2.5.0 now supports frecency sorting! It will be enabled by default if kkharji/sqlite.lua is also installed.

I think it is. Some neovim plugins such as Telescope which is widely used and praised use SQLite[1]

A mini harpoon. Basically, a floating window with a list of files, and a way to navigate to them.

Check out harpoon which lets you pin buffers, that you frequently want to visit the most. For the rest Telescope buffers should suffice I believe.

Navigating open files I use harpoon https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

Check out harpoon and other.nvim for improving your workflow. I've only used harpoon and am really satisfied with using it. other is on my checklist, so you might also test it out.

got a question about other. I am using harppon.nvim atm. What’s the benefit of using other or do they complement each other?

Harpoon for quick buffer switching that persists across sessions

Not sure if it’s helpful, but Harpoon allows per-branch marks, so that code might be relevant if you go down that path. https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

This does sound like harpoon a bit.
