MiniVim a Minimal Neovim Configuration
I built MiniVim, a small and minimal Neovim configuration focused on keeping things simple and readable. The goal was to have a setup that: starts fast uses only essential plugins avoids heavy frameworks remains easy to understand and extend The structure is intentionally small: It’s not meant to compete with full Neovim distributions, but rather serve as a clean base configuration that can be extended gradually. I use it across multiple machines (laptop, WSL, and servers), so reproducibility and simplicity were priorities. Feedback is welcome.

MiniVim is a small, clean, and reproducible configuration for Neovim. Think of it as a minimal, inspectable foundation for Neovim, not a distribution. MiniVim is not meant to compete with large ecosystems like LazyVim or AstroNvim. mv ~ /.config/nvim ~ /.config/nvim.backup Clone MiniVim git clone https://github.com/kyanjeuring/minivim.git ~ /.config/nvim Start Neovim nvim Plugins will install automatically on first launch. git clone https://github.com/kyanjeuring/minivim.git ln -s " $( pwd ) /minivim " ~ /.config/nvim Now changes in the repo immediately reflect in Neovim. cd ~ /.config/nvim git pull Uninstall rm -rf ~ /.config/nvim Restart Neovim. lua/settings.lua What MiniVim is NOT Not a…from github.com

Other frameworks will claim simplicity and minimalism and then, casually, mention they are built on a multitude of libraries. This follows self-imposed constraints, predicated on a belief that smaller and lighter is long-term better. Caveat emptor: This is a project by and for developers who know and like programming (rather than, let us say, configuring). It is…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
