  1. AstroNvim

    AstroNvim is an aesthetic and feature-rich neovim config that is extensible and easy to use with a great set of plugins

    I also started with my own config and it was a fun ride, but it was never where I wanted it to be. So I tried out AstroNvim and was amazed how nice everything is setup. They are also very helpful on github if you run into any issues.

  3. LunarVim

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

    It might be worthwhile to try out some of the popular neovim "distros", I haven't really used them so I dont really have advice but some popular ones are: AstroNvim, LunarVim, Kickstart.nvim

  4. kickstart.nvim

    A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  5. Neovim-from-scratch

    📚 A Neovim config designed from scratch to be understandable

    I’d look at https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch and https://alpha2phi.medium.com/learn-neovim-the-practical-way-8818fcf4830f as a good way to start.

  6. nvim-starter

    Neovim example configuration. To help you start in your journey

    I put together a collection of resources in a github repo called nvim-starter. There you'll find example configurations, blogposts, guides, videos, etc.

  7. NvChad

    Blazing fast Neovim framework providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.

    For me it's NvChad, https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad I really love how clean and simple the configuration of NvChad, the abstraction is a minimal IMO, almost resemble packer.lua itself and I think it's a good place to start. These days, I ended-up creating my own configuration because i want to be in control of my config, but still taking a lot of inspiration from NvChad.

  8. AnoNvim

    My personal Neovim config

    Here's my messy, bloated but abit structured config. I'm pretty you'll immediately be able to tell I'm a newbie 😎

  10. lsp-zero.nvim

    A starting point to setup some lsp related features in neovim.

    For setting up the native LSP client alongside nvim-cmp and a snippet engine, I cannot recommend lsp-zero strongly enough. It makes the process absolutely painless and really quick. Do check it out.
