plink.nvim

Introduction

A plugin to find more plugins.

WARNING: This plugin (like all my side projects) is a massive work in progress, as in "pre-alpha", as in don't be surprised if it doesn't work.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

-- init.lua
{
    'darksinge/plink.nvim',
    commit = '0ebe56b',
    dependencies = {
      'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
      'darksinge/neodash.nvim',
      'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim',
    },
}

Usage

This plugin has a backend component (darksinge/plink-nvim-site).

Warning

I'm only adding these instructions because I'm just about to release a video on my YouTube channel, but this is likely to break without warning and I'm only human and will probably forget to update these instructions in a timely manner and this is definitely, 100% not how I plan on doing this in the future.

With that said, after installing, run the following command to (hopefully) get the search window to appear:

:lua require('plink.ui').open()

But I reiterate: you should only look at this plugin (in its current state) if you're simply curious and want to play around. You will encounter bugs.

TODOs

• auto install plugins on selection
  • copy config to clipboard by default
  • set up auto install for popular dists like lunarvim, lazyvim, nvchad, astrovim, kickstarter.nvim, etc.
• allow sorting results by author, popularity, tags, etc.
• make UI look as pretty as humanly possible
