What on earth size of monorepo is that!? iirc, we’ve got ~1Mloc of OCaml, probably another two or three times that in assorted generated code, specs, config, infra, and other languages; and my VScode-Remote definitely boots up as fast as the network connection can stand up.

Definitely faster than I can think of the first thing I want to do … ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That said, I should own up to having had an absurdly overcomplicated vim config, tons of plugins, a decade n change of customizations and patches and shit. Maybe I’ve just always had a high tolerance for a slow boot. hahaha

Whewf I’m boutta out myself or something, but …

after 15 years of vim, writing (and contributing to) a host of plugins, even running custom builds with my own patches …

I basically never boot up Actual Vim anymore?? I’ve basically entirely switched to VScode + VSCodeVim. embarrassing as fuck, in some ways, but jesus christ it’s just too goddamn good.

The neovim integration, even, was fantastic. (Although I don’t use it right now, for “VSCode Remote reasons,” lol.)

There’s no reason to be so critical of OP for this … if anything, it’s impressive, or at least cute. Why you gotta be bringing Reddit negativity over here? )=

I’ve been turned on to Notion by work, and now use it for my lil’ polycule as well — but I do want something … better.

Unfortunately both logseq and Obsidian have way, way too much of a “text” focus for me, even with plugins; and way too little of a “data” focus — the real potential strength of Notionalikes is definitely in deep database features and integration; not ‘this is only useful if you type at a full keyboard for hours.’ At least to me. 🤣

I’m pretty excited about http://anytype.io; but it’s in perpetual development/beta — still kinda barebones. It’s definitely got the correct focus, though? Chunks of data, not “articles” or “pages!”

I wish you’d recommended that commenters keep to “one extension per top-level comment,” making it easier to upvote the best ones 😅

Anyway, my “one pick” is definitely Tridactyl — a thorough, absurdly powerful poweruser-mode for FireFox based in Vi-like modal interaction.
