  • Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.

    I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.

    Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.

    Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.

    It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.












  • I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but… More.

    • allow any piece of information (news article, DM, sensor reading,…) to be wrapped in a standard format
    • subscribe to any number of source directly or indirectly (e.g. through a self-hosted relay server)
    • allow networks to define default data sources (e.g. get sensor data from machines as soon as you are connected to corporate networks
    • make the data declare what UI elements are required,
    • but allow clients to display them however the fuck they want
    • allow user to assign priorities statically or programmatically to any source, and to filter, sort, categorize based on it

    Essentially: I want “the feed” from universes like The Expanse
