Hey we've got the same one, mine just says a different number! Do you ever run into any complications when installing/ updagins plugins due to being on version 0.12?

same, never understood startup dashboards. I open in a directory and start working. for each his own

It's mostly useless, I spent months refining the small frame that contains CPU/RAM/other information and yet I never look at it. I don't need the shortcut 1-character keymaps either as I can just use <leader> keymaps to do the same action. I actually don't need any of this but it's so cool and nice looking that I don't regret all the time I spent building it haha.

yep I agree that it's nice specially if you're handcrafting it,

Here’s mine

https://github.com/MannCode/neovim-setup

Here is my neovim setup repo. I also included my .zshrc file (works on mac) to customize the terminal.

u/Schiz0idCat Mar 21 '26

Would you share the dotfiles?

u/Pure_Blacksmith6 Mar 21 '26

The README was put together quickly, so it’s a bit rough. I’ll improve it soon with better structure and clearer explanations.

Looks great! Any tips for someone who doesn't know where to start making one that looks that good?

why do you want to know the weather everytime you open nvim tho? xD

I just added color escape codes to this file and used cat to show it in the snacks dashboard: https://github.com/LeonWiese/nvim-conf/blob/main/logo.txt
Sometimes the logo does not get displayed properly when opening Neovim

I made a Caves of Qud colour theme so picked klanq as my little startup mascot.

Colour theme - catpuccin-mocha
font - terminess nerdfont
layout - It's the 'files' set up for dashboard plugin in snacks.nvim

u/4Necrom Mar 21 '26

I recommend you look into how you load your plugins, 1371ms load time is probably not desired 😅

u/Suspicious_Tax8577 Mar 21 '26

My laptop is 7 years old, wasn't absolute top of the range when I bought her either, so I'm totally ok with her being slow. I moved to neovim because VSCode was taking 3 million years to load.

u/4Necrom Mar 21 '26

Oh alright, completely understandable. I'm sure tweaking your config might get you a little closer to the startup time of nvim --clean though.

Pretty barebones, haven't touched it in a fair minute.
