  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • This issue is informative, but I haven't implemented or tested anything yet. If you're able to run with this approach I'd appreciate you sharing whatever you come up with!

  • auto-session

    A small automated session manager for Neovim

  • buffers: I open and close nvim instances all day long, using https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session (or one of the many other session management plugins), it saves my buffers on a per git branch basis, so I lose nothing. nvim opens in less than a second, so this is no burden at all.

  • 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.

  • tmux-continuum

    Continuous saving of tmux environment. Automatic restore when tmux is started. Automatic tmux start when computer is turned on.

  • I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore all my tmux sessions if I reboot my machine or kill tmux.

  • tmux-resurrect

    Persists tmux environment across system restarts.

  • I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore all my tmux sessions if I reboot my machine or kill tmux.

  • powerlevel10k

    A Zsh theme

  • To build upon that concept, you can even have your shell prompt display a symbol if you have a backgrounded job. I use https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k and the background_jobs handles it for me.

  • 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.
