I'm a software developer (from Venezuela), mostly do web development stuff. I occasionally like to talk about linux, Neovim and javascript.
i wrote down everything i know about color schemes in neovim. so if you ever wanted to create one from scratch this might be a good place to start.

I am very happy to announce the release of MiniMax - Neovim config example(s) that is primarily based on MINI/mini.nvim.
The plan was to wait until when 'mini.statuscolumn' and 'mini.terminals' are implemented, but decided to just do it now.
Here is the release post: nvim-mini.org/blog/2025-10...

neovim's built-in "treesitter support" is a cool feature that has been around for a while now. i didn't found many resources that explain what is, so i wrote something

It was a long road to get here, but we made it 🎉
Thanks @neovim.io core team for allowing me to do this!
There are still a lot of things to do, but we'll approach them one small step at a time.

The 0.12 version will have minimal built-in plugin manager. It is still a work in progress, so use it carefully (if you use Nightly builds) and expect breaking changes without notice.

i've updated my post about neovim's lsp client. i added the new stuff from v0.11 and explain how it works, so people can make their own setup even on older neovim versions.
long story short, this is about using neovim's lsp client without plugins.

'mini.completion' now **finally** has snippet support (plus other small improvements). This was a frequently requested feature which I had troubles adding (including a detour of making own snippet engine), but it is finally done.
Here is the updated 'mini.completion' #neovim demo:

Hey friends, one of the most common concerns I hear from people who want to learn to code is, "I'm not good at math". Don't gatekeep yourself before you even get started - you might find it's fun to make the computer do the math instead! Fellow devs, what would you say to newbies with this concern?

neovim added a new api to configure language servers. is easy to use if you know what you are doing. sure, writting 6 lines of code is easy enough. knowing what to write is the tricky part.

neovim did the thing. they upstream the setup logic from nvim-lspconfig. okay, is not exactly the same. this one seems to be a little bit more flexible.

the 300 character limit is really hurting me. in mastodon the standard limit 500 and i'm happy with that. if i'm over 500 i'm saying too much. but 300 is not enough.

the other day i refactored the neovim config i shared with people that want to learn about the editor. is amazing what you can do with these plugins:
* mini.nvim
* nvim-lspconfig
* nvim-treesitter
one file. 141 lines of code. 6 plugins.
