  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • Another issue is scrolling visual lines one by one that have been wrapped. (N)vim can only scroll by literal lines, so if a line is longer than the screen and wrapped, there is no way to step through line by visual line.

  • neovide

    No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust

  • I was mostly thinking about Neovide[1], which is active, but I've read somewhere that Neovim was planning on not supporting this idea (of multiple GUI frontends) and that they were going to focus on the terminal UI. Maybe that was wrong though, since it's still listed on the Wiki you linked, and Neovide is still getting new commits.

  • 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.

  • VimMode.spoon

    Adds vim keybindings to all OS X inputs

  • A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app

    It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.

    If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.
