rynd (raɪnd) Noun

A piece of iron crossing the hole in the upper millstone, by which the stone is supported on the spindle. 🕂

rynd.nvim is a drop-in replacement for LazyVim. LazyVim offers an editing environment that is both convenient and comprehensive, aimed at users that want a middle ground between rolling their own setup from scratch and using a Neovim "distro". For most, whether or not to use LazyVim is a break-even analysis of the work required to adapt their preferences, needs, and feature requirements to LazyVim, versus the work LazyVim saves. When the perceived risk of switching to LazyVim is too high, potential users forego LazyVim for another option.

LazyVim raises that break-even point by black-boxing steps 7 to 17 of Neovim's initialization process into the LazyVim plugin at ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/LazyVim. What rynd.nvim does is give control of these steps back to the user by hooking into LazyVim before the formed plugin specs are loaded by lazy.nvim, allowing you to override any decision before it's made, rather than after.

This also allows access inside of the LazyVim plugin black-box, opening it up to be used as a Lua module to build your editor in the same way the LazyVim maintainers built LazyVim. Any upstream changes or additions to LazyVim, including maintenance and addition of any future plugins from the community, will (in theory) be compatible with your custom config.

• Neovim >= 0.9.0 (needs to be built with LuaJIT)

See test/config/nvim for an example Neovim config. To properly hook into LazyVim, fork this repo and add your config to lua/rynd/plugins, but this will change in the near feature.
