another solution for fuzzy finding is telescope.nvim https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
the thing i like the most about it is the amount of plugins you can add (including things like looking at nvim's paste ring).

AstroNvim
AstroNvim is an aesthetic and feature-rich neovim config that is extensible and easy to use with a great set of plugins
You can definitely put all of your configuration into a single file for AstroNvim if you want.
In the docs it shows the minimal configuration to get AstroNvim running which is <10 lines in your ~/.config/init.lua file and then anything else you can just drop in that same file if you want. (https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim?tab=readme-ov-file#mi...)
Here is a user on GitHub that has a single file AstroNvim configuration: https://github.com/20k-ultra/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init....

Project mention: Show HN: Daily-notes.nvim – fuzzy time journal and planning plugin | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-08
The PKM space for neovim plugins is a surprisingly deep rabbithole but it can take quite a while to find what you need.
For completions and tagging https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide works well for me and does pretty much everything I need.
There are also a glut of all-in-one solutions like https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg (org-mode for neovim) and https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim.
Graphing is a bit harder because it doesn't intuitively match up with nvim's interface, but I'm pretty sure I saw something on Reddit the other day.

nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim: A blazing fast and easy to configure neovim statusline plugin written in pure lua.

👉 Catppuccin theme Catppuccin for Neovim.

I've moved from kickstart to neovim-for-newbs by TypeCraft, and then settling with a config I've based off of Neovim from Scratch by chrisatmachine. I've added the plugins I use, made changes to my liking, and converted it to an IDE for my coding. I even created a colorscheme (which I named neodarker) by modifying an existing one, to match my taste.

Obsidian.nvim (https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim) has been working really well for me. I use Obsidian mobile app (it’s not the best in this space, but still very good). And on my laptop, I’ve got neovim - getting to the daily note is one key combo. It’s also super fast and syncs using Obisidan Sync (or you can do your own).

kanagawa.nvim
NeoVim dark colorscheme inspired by the colors of the famous painting by Katsushika Hokusai.
-
I've been using vim/neovim for decades, and "so that you don't feel the difference between manipulating text and files" made no sense.
Then I watched a video from the README (https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim) and yup, that looks amazing and makes so much sense. Thanks GP for mentioning it!
