social.nvim

Browse github repos by topic and recency

Requirements

• recent neovim
• curl

Usage

:Social [date] [topic] — Show repos with the given topic created after the date. Defaults to :Social today neovim.

• date can be one of:
  • today
  • week
  • month
  • quarter
  • half
  • year
  • YYYY-MM-DD

In the Social view buffer:

• to view a repo on github hit enter on the line with the url (or you can gx the url)
• you can paginate to the previous interval if you used one of the named date spans (hit enter on previous or next)

You can hit enter on some items:

• readme — get a preview of the readme
• discussion — open the discussions
• owner/repo — additional info about the creator

Motivation

To make it easy to discover github repos right from neovim. I'd also like to experiment with using github repos as technical blogs with folder structure - one could write an engineering blog post as a github repo where the main article goes in readme.md. Add the 'blog' topic to the repo and you have a buildable/executable blog post that's discoverable through social.nvim with :Social week blog.
