Behind The Code
🌈 Inspiration
I love nerd font glyphs, and I use them anywhere I can! but I was wasting a lot of time going back and forth between nerd font site and neovim, also the copy feature was super buggy for me on the site, so I made nerdy!
💡 Challenges/Learnings
- Making the generated icon table with vim.ui.select was a bit tricky.
