Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

Having trouble auto-restoring sessions using persistence.nvim and VimR
I'm loading sessions at BufReadPost (also tried BufReadPre, which didn't work) instead of VimEnter because I couldn't find a way to find out the "true" CWD at VimEnter. I use VimR, which seems to launch nvim without any arguments even when I launch it from the command line like vimr path/to/file.ext or opening a file in macOS Finder, and set the CWD to $HOME instead of path/to. So at VimEnter, I'm only able to restore a session saved for $HOME, but not my project directory.

Neovim in Swift?
https://github.com/qvacua/vimr and https://github.com/qvacua/neovim/tree/5f8dd8c4a33203277cf6058f559383626411693d are good places to start

Wanting to replace VSCode with VIm.
I've never tried a GUI version of Neovim, and this is the first I've heard of MacVim. Are you referring to VimR? If so, it seems like the problem could have been with the third party GUI software instead of the core Neovim software.

Looking for a neovim GUI with image previews
fvim and goneovim have support for gui-widgets.nvim which is a sort of protocol to define images and let Neovim GUIs display them.

How do I enable file/document preview on the right as shown in the picture?
If you're fine with leaving the terminal, Goneovim has it built-in

Can we get a markdown plugin with a side by side preview, directly into Neovim?
Neovim in a terminal can only display monospaced characters. However there are GUIs for Neovim and Goneovim used to have a markdown preview.

Do we have any tile window manager for NeoVim? (Written in Lua preferred)
I think the main thing now is probably waiting for one of the nvim GUIs to develop the appropriate features. Goneovim looks like it's getting there and may already be good enough for your needs. E.g. you can break any nvim window (floats, splits etc) into a separate external desktop window.

Neovim LSP working with docker container files
you can start a headless neovim inside the container with nvim --listen 127.0.0.1:7777 --headless and then use something like goneovim (https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim) to connect to this instance. all your tools (npm, linters etc) will be inside the container

Vim is the #4 most loved editor with a 70% rating, according to the 2021 Stackoverflow Developer Survey (Neovim is #1, VSCode #2)
Instead, Nvim provides an RPC protocol that may be implemented by external GUIs. For example, there exists a plugin that embeds Nvim into Firefox when editing textboxes, GUIs that leverage Nvim's multigrid support to support smooth scrolling, translucent popups, minimaps, etc. such as Uivonim, Goneovim and Neovide, and more.
