The README seems fine to me; I'm just overwhelmed with what I don't know. I'm getting there but it's an agonizingly slow process. Fyi... I was able to install kickstart.nvim properly and it works, but it will take me awhile to figure out what is what. Thanks!
That's not just understandable but how could it be any other way?
Heck just Vim itself is layer upon layer of powerful functionality. Now layer in the immense potential of Neovim's Lua based plugin ecosystem and client/server architecture? ๐คฏ
Give yourself the time to learn. Focus on just the things you need to get the task you're doing RIGHT NOW done, then focus later on things that can level up your knowledge and productivity.
I've been thinking about making Neovim tutorial videos for Youtube. If I did, what kinds of things would be useful to you?
I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask (my learning path has been pretty unconventional) but really basic lua scripting would have helped me. I'm at the beginner stage where too many things don't make sense, but I just keep attacking from different angles and now some things are starting to click. It just takes time.
Oh I totally agree. The Lua idioms can be confusing and the documentation ecosystem is currently in a place where if you already know Lua well it's incredibly helpful, but bridging the gap for beginners is a challenge - one worth embracing!
