Wrapping your favorite cli in neovim hit 10k views earlier this month. Pretty humbling experience to have that many eyeballs on a talk of mine. Glad so many enjoyed it!

This is going to be a fun Neovimconf talk, focusing on wrapping your favorite CLI programs in neovim.

All of the examples are done, including this one showing the power of wrapping CLI programs to render websites in neovim.

Just made the first official release of org-roam.nvim, a port of Org Roam to neovim! https://t.co/vWLHJxY0dA

I also published a video providing an overview of the plugin. The first video I've made since vimconf 2021! https://t.co/1tVKzWbG4f

https://t.co/MpXQZHIc20 just hit 1k stars! Woo!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

Think I'm overdue to provide some new videos showcasing what it can do as well as getting started.

We just crossed 900 stars on github for https://t.co/MpXQZHIc20

Branch v0.3 is now the primary branch for the repository, and it's been crazy to see how much the project has evolved from v0.1 two years ago!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@lucasdoell @mholt6 @eastdakota @MattJamesBoyle @Cloudflare same. I was excited because .dev became available, but then it got blocked because it's premium.

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

For fun, I tried running distant on the cheapest Github codespace. It worked and I was able to edit Rust source code with a language server, which is pretty awesome!

Used a privately forwarded port between the codespace and my machine. Entire process could be automated for sure.

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

After 11 months, distant 0.20 is finally released! 🎉

With this comes the impending stabilization of the v0.3 branch of distant.nvim. The branch itself is considered stable, but documentation needed to be written for https://t.co/xiI3u5dzDx and vimdoc.

Mkdocs Material has to be one of the most polished static site generators, and frankly open source software, I've used in awhile. It's so good, and had a feature within Insiders that I needed, that I became a monthly sponsor.

Thanks again @squidfunk for all of your hard work!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@squidfunk Mkdocs Material is fantastic :D Had so many features I wanted available out of the box, simple to set up, and the defaults look great! Thanks for putting it together and all of the hard work you've done to make it the success it is today!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

New landing page for https://t.co/36kBGlyKg4 that leverages an image made with Midjourney and switches over to using Mkdocs Material. Looks pretty neat to me!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

distant.nvim v0.3 is now available as an experimental branch to try. Complete rewrite of the plugin that has simplified a lot of the work! Documentation coming!

It also adds support for multiple connections within the same neovim instance and boasts a user interface. :)

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@avaitopiper I'd been using it for awhile. There are still some kinks, but more usage will catch them faster.

The video above is from a big refactoring of the plugin, so give it a couple of weeks to settle.

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

I grabbed the user interface code from mason.nvim and applied it to distant.nvim, and got an initial WIP for a user interface that you can use to manage your remote connections. Check it out!

User interface progress: https://t.co/77AOsV1CcC

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

https://t.co/MpXQZHIc20 hit 700 stars a little while ago. v0.2 is still on the horizon and works if you want to give it a try in its branch.

Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback thus far!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@teej_dv When the pandemic started, I bought the same Herman Miller chair I had at my office and then got a headrest for it. Alongside my keyboard, best investment I've made for personal health tied to software work.

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@teej_dv Oh, looks like scripts/gen_help_html.lua from the main neovim repo will do this for me. Will definitely give that a look!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

Website for distant is now live: https://t.co/YdwGB099kI

Full documentation coming later this week, but we now have a homepage for the tooling that explains how to install it and an overview of how it works!

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@teej_dv Didn't know that was a thing! Is this something I can easily examine from neovim's build pipeline/doc section? Or is this something better to reach out to specific folks who worked on it?

[Chip Senkbeil @ChipSenkbeil]

@Nateemerson You may want https://t.co/kHCUazukaY, one letter off from my own project, and geared towards collaboration! I don't think it provides authentication or encryption, but could be wrong.

If you do have ideas of what you'd need/want to achieve this with distant, let me know!
