  • alpha-nvim

    a lua powered greeter like vim-startify / dashboard-nvim

  • So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.

  • dashboard-nvim

    vim dashboard

  • zen-mode.nvim

    🧘 Distraction-free coding for Neovim

  • However, I want to style this a bit more maybe have a better-looking tree on startup. One of the solutions I could think of is to open the nvim-tree in zen-mode. This ends up looking like this.
