luismede/netherite.nvim

netherite.nvim is a plugin for Neovim, a text editor popular with programmers, that lets you write quick notes without leaving the editor. Those notes are saved as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, so the same notes can also be opened and synced in Obsidian, a separate note-taking app, or really any editor that reads Markdown files. To use it, you need Neovim version 0.9.0 or newer and a folder to act as your notes vault, which defaults to a data folder Neovim already manages if you do not set your own. Installation is done through a Neovim plugin manager such as lazy.nvim or packer.nvim, or by manually copying the plugin's files into your Neovim configuration folder. Once installed, you configure it by calling a setup function with optional settings: where your vault lives, whether new notes open in a floating window in the center of the screen or a split window on the side, and how new note filenames are generated, including a base name plus date and time stamps. The plugin adds a handful of commands. One opens or closes the note window for a given filename, automatically adding the .md extension. Another changes the window style at runtime. A third lets you change which vault folder is active without restarting Neovim. A fourth lets you browse and reopen recently used notes through a selection menu. There is also a small Lua API for setup and toggling notes from your own configuration or keymaps. The README recommends pairing it with a separate plugin called render-markdown.nvim, which makes headings, lists, code blocks, and tables in your notes easier to read directly inside Neovim. The project is released under the MIT license.
