I built MiniVim, a small and minimal Neovim configuration focused on keeping things simple and readable.The goal was to have a setup that:starts fastuses only essential pluginsavoids heavy frameworksremains easy to understand and extendThe structure is intentionally small:It’s not meant to compete with full Neovim distributions, but rather serve as a clean base configuration that can be extended gradually.I use it across multiple machines (laptop, WSL, and servers), so reproducibility and simplicity were priorities.Feedback is welcome.
