## Fork differences
Originially and wonderfully by [qvacua](https://github.com/qvacua/) which appears to be unsupported any more.
This version can talk to an arbitrary nvim (once the upstream bits get merged)
It therefore should be able to keep pace with nvim development better. Work was done to avoid
having to modify neovim, and the uibridge mechanism has been replaced with api calls.
## About
Project VimR is a Neovim GUI for macOS.
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,
but also use C/Objective-C when where appropriate.
There are other Neovim GUIs for macOS, see the [list](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#gui), so why?
- Play around with [Neovim](https://github.com/qvacua/neovim),
- play around with Swift (and especially with [RxSwift](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift)), and
- (most importantly) have fun!
If you want to support VimR financially, use [Github's Sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/qvacua).
## Download
Pre-built Universal signed and notarized binaries can be found under [Releases](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/releases).
## Reusable Components
* [RxMessagePort](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/blob/develop/RxPack/RxMessagePort.swift): RxSwift wrapper for local and remote `CFMessagePort`.
* [RxMsgpackRpc](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/blob/develop/RxPack/RxMsgpackRpc.swift): Implementation of MsgpackRpc using RxSwift.
* [RxNeovimApi](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/blob/develop/RxPack/RxNeovimApi.swift): RxSwift wrapper of Neovim API.
* [NvimView](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/develop/NvimView): SwiftPM module which bundles everything, e.g. Neovim's `runtime`-files, needed to embed Neovim in a Cocoa App.
## Some Features
* Markdown preview
* Generic HTML preview (retains the scroll position when reloading)
* Fuzzy file finder a la Xcode's "Open Quickly..."
