  • dotfiles

    My dotfiles repository. (by danieljaouen)

    I have a few default keybindings coming from Spacemacs/AstroNvim. In case anybody finds them useful, you can find them here: https://github.com/danieljaouen/dotfiles/blob/main/topics/ze...

  • gleam

    ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

    I had tried and failed multiple times to start using Vim (after using Vim binds for a while), and actually failed the transition right before my 6 month stint with Zed. It was actually this post[0] from the creator of Gleam [1] that brought LazyVim to my attention. I made a handle full of modifications, removing certain plugins and adding others. I'm very happy with the result. Its been two weeks of using it at both work and home productively.

  • LunarVim

    🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

    > I also settled on Lunarvim (ans stopped worrying)

    Then I have some sad news for you. :(

  • nvim-treesitter

    Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer

    I wouldn't really count those. Every editor with treesitter support will have those, it's for treesitter: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/mast...

  • sublime_text

    Issue tracker for Sublime Text

    I wouldn't mind the license fee as much if there was actually any development going on, but for the past 3-4 years, there has basically been 4-10 months between releases, and each release has been more or less bugfixes and rewrites [1]. There has been 4 updates in 3 years.

    The issue tracker for ST has 1863 open issues, or 41% open vs closed issues [2], and the issue tracker for SM has 1055 open issues [3].

    I have no problem paying for software, and i understand that most developers don't work for free, but with this software it doesn't even appear i'm paying for "work", and instead it appears to be more or less a passive source of income for the developer.

    As i wrote earlier, i'm not entirely sure what i'm gonna do, but given the slow pace of improvements to ST, i guess i can easily wait a couple of years before updating, if ever.
