  • nyoom.nvim

    Discontinued A Neovim framework and doom emacs alternative for the stubborn martian hacker. Powered by fennel and the oxocarbon theme

    If you wanna come back to the paths of the lord, you could give a try to Nyoom.nvim, it's an nvim config very similar to Doom Emacs written in the lisp Fennel which then compiles to Lua. VimL sucks

  • dotfiles

    My dotfiles managed via yadm (by rochakgupta)

    Yup. Here you go: https://github.com/rochakgupta/dotfiles. Check out the .vimrc and .vim directory.

  • 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.

  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

    I recently switched to Helix from Neovim, after having switched from Vim shortly before that. I wasn't improficient at (n)vim exactly, but I found it to be more hassle than it's worth. Not so much the modal nature of the editor (Helix is modal as well), but rather the extensive set-up process for features that I consider pretty necessary for my own day-to-day use.
