Hey, you do not need a plugin for this feature

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/neovim

  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • awesome-neovim

    Collections of awesome neovim plugins.

    I saw from awesome neovim2 a plugin that helps the users create the necessary dir when they save a file. I wondered why this feature even needs a plugin, because you can literally do this with a few lines of code.

  • nvim-lua-guide

    Discontinued A guide to using Lua in Neovim

    This snippet is simple and do not require sophisticated knowledge to write. You can write it perhaps after reading the nvim lua guide. I do not think this is good for new users to learn how to use Neovim properly. It creates unnecessary dependencies in their config for external plugins. The extreme will be like the JavaScript world where there is dependency hell, you rely on external libraries for even a small feature/function you do not care to write. When that library fails/disappears, your library fails too, which is manifested in the famous left-pad incident.

  • 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.

  • vim-fugitive

    fugitive.vim: A Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal

    My philosophy is that if you can create a feature easily without external plugins, try to write it yourself unless it will cost you a lot of effort, e.g., write a fully-featured git client for neovim (vim-fugitive level).
