    There are better editors to learn if your goal is to not learn vi.

    In vi, search is not only used for searching, but also for navigation. Demoting search from an easy-to-reach single key to a difficult-to-press chorded key combination breaks one of vi’s core philosophies, natural editing flow, and will significantly reduce your enjoyment and efficiency using the editor.












  • This looks like an attempt to reproduce the web-of-trust functions provided by Keybase.io. Keybase has historically been a great resource that fills the same role as the PGP/GnuPG web of trust for a much broader range of identity attestations.

    An open implementation of this concept has been sorely needed since Keybase got bought and shitcanned by Zoom during the COVID lockdown. Zoom wanted to aqui-hire all the Keybase devs to boost development on their lacking encryption and security. Sadly, Keybase has basically been abandonware since then.
