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

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • 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.

  • LunarVim

    šŸŒ™ 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

  • 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.

  • kickstart.nvim

    A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  • Neovim-from-scratch

    šŸ“š A Neovim config designed from scratch to be understandable

  • Iā€™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.

  • 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.

  • NvChad

    Blazing fast Neovim config 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.

  • 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 šŸ˜Ž

  • 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.

  • 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.
