Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mini.nvim

    Library of 35+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.7 and higher) experience with minimal effort

  • If getting to know 23 modules is too much for people, I'd recommend starting with these 5: - mini.ai - mini.cursorword - mini.indentscope - mini.starter - mini.surround

  • .dotfiles

    My dev setup scripts and configs (by protiumx)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dirbuf.nvim

    A file manager for Neovim which lets you edit your filesystem like you edit text

  • Shout-out to dirbuf.nvim as it is one of my favorite plugins I cannot live without, but I see it rarely mentioned. It allows you to do file management by editing a file, so you can do anything you would do to edit any regular file. There are no new keymaps to learn, you just use any regular motion, :s, :g, or anything you can think of. Great for bulk renaming!

  • awesome-neovim

    Collections of awesome neovim plugins.

  • I think the de factor place for this is awesome-neovim. It's gotten really big, so needs a bit of reading.

  • oil.nvim

    Neovim file explorer: edit your filesystem like a buffer

  • I love the concept of editing file trees like a buffer! Recently oil.nvim has been created which seems to be an improvement of dirbuf. I wish that instead of introducing a completely new UI one could keep using existing tree viewers though (and edit the files/directories in insert mode). (I'm working on exactly that right now, a new plugin based on oil.nvim;))

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
