Oh man, if this is true, I truly salute his dedication for pushing through and contributing to open source. Not many, despite having all the means available to them, have the drive to "just do it". markview.nvim is a great plugin that does one thing and does it well.

Edit: Seems like there is an open issue [1] to get him a PC to code on. Just one more reason why I love the community.

It's always a refreshing reminder of my privilege seeing how many barriers certain people have to just buying/receiving a computer- shipping into a country, dealing with getting money into a country, using a credit card, etc.

Also, a lot of people say the world is getting worse, but computers and the internet are slowly but surely spreading to many people who wouldn't have had access even 5 years ago.


If he doesn't have a PC how/why was he motivated to write a neovim plugin in the first place?


he's using neovim on his phone....


Huh. thanks.
