## About
2016-07-10 21:57:00 +03:00
2020-12-30 17:34:38 +03:00
Project VimR is a Neovim GUI for macOS.
2020-02-07 19:37:47 +03:00
The goal is to build an editor that uses Neovim inside with many of the convenience
GUI features similar to those present in modern editors. We mainly use Swift,
2020-12-30 17:34:38 +03:00
but also use C/Objective-C when where appropriate.
