Show HN: MiniVim a Minimal Neovim Configuration
kppjeuring Tuesday, February 24, 2026
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 fast
uses only essential plugins
avoids heavy frameworks
remains easy to understand and extend
The 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.
Summary
MiniVim is a lightweight and minimalistic Vim-like text editor written in Rust. It aims to provide a simple and efficient text editing experience while maintaining key features of the original Vim editor.
