  • limelight.vim

    :flashlight: All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players

    Lol, I never looked at it like that. I guess it’s because I built my .vimrc from scratch so I know what’s in there and I modify it semi-regularly. I know you can export the settings.json or something in Code but it all feels like a black box. Still, because of your enthusiasm, I’ll give ‘er the ole try again with Code! Zen mode sounds nice. Is it configurable? I do like some sort of UI. Recently picked up limelight but goyo is too minimalist.

  • 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.

  • powerlevel10k

    A Zsh theme

    Yep. Also if you are on windows and use WSL 2 consider switching from bash to zsh and integrating it into vsc if you haven't already. zsh makes for a much better terminal experience especially with the many plugins like oh-my-zsh and powerlevel 10k. If you are on windows and do not use WSL 2 consider using it XD.

  • oni2

    Native, lightweight modal code editor

    I was thinking about some of the things you said and remembered OniVim2. Heard of it? It's paid, sadly, but you can get a license for free if you contribute to the repo (or it was, not sure it that's still the case). It's sort of a bridge between classic Vim and VSCode, bringing in all that fancy VSCode goodness and yet focusing on the Vim user. I've had a license for a while but completely forgot about it. Gonna dust it off, see how it goes.
