Hi all 👋🏻 @brandon here! I just want to say thank you for all the feedback over the past few months. I appreciate that you are all interested in the vim tips that I've collected since the start of this bot (2 years ago 🫢).This bot is based on my postodon project (link in bio) which I'm currently working to re-write and improve in Python. Once the Python re-write is finished (no ETA is promised) I'll post here and on my personal Mastodon account.Happy vimming!- LinuxLiaison
