Hey! I'm Keith Simmons (Kethku) and I work on developer tooling both for my day job and at home.

I wrote Neovide with the help of some amazing contributors. I think Vim is an amazing tool for editing text, but it suffers from some rough edges. I think good editor features can help with those issues and can make Vim more approachable. Things like an animated cursor and some carefully crafted usability tweaks that I've been working on in Neovide go a long way toward that goal.

If you find Neovide or any of my other projects useful, I'd really appreciate even a small contribution! It helps me buy hardware to keep working on and testing my projects and motivates me to keep hacking on them despite the wall of issues ;) I think we've got a good thing going, and your donation helps me target and keep on track.

@Kethku

If I can get $500 a month, then I will feel comfortable purchasing dedicated hardware for testing and supporting mac and linux platforms more effectively. Currently Neovide is supported on those platform through the generous testing of contributors. I would like to encourage and reward some of those contributors by purchasing dedicated hardware for them to test with and use.

If you haven't got a lot of expendable income but want to support me somehow, maybe just buy me a coffee once a month this would be a great way to do it! It's highly appreciated and these things add up.

If you'd rather buy a coffee without the commitment, maybe consider donating through ko-fi instead.

If you use Neovide at work, maybe think about sending a little extra my way. Tooling that feels good to use makes work just that much easier to stand. Its the main reason I wrote Neovide in the first place. Sponsorships at this level really keep me motivated to continue stabilizing and improving Neovide.

There's so much more that Neovide could be and I have a ton of ideas coming down the pipe. Your contributions are a big part of that.

You care about the work I've been doing, and I greatly appreciate it. It means a lot to have support of the community for the tools that I like making. I'd really like to do more of this in the future and you enable me to do that.

I would love to get to know what you would find interesting, or what your needs are for Neovide. If you use Neovide for streaming live development and would like to make Vim even easier to follow for those watching, I'm there. If you are interested in turning Neovide into a front end platform for other editors, lets go for it. If you want Neovide to be a first class environment for live coding vector graphics animations, I want to talk about it and brainstorm.

Your donations give me the space to achieve those longer term goals and I'd like to hear from you where you think we should go.
