I am very happy to announce the release of MiniMax - Neovim config example(s) that is primarily based on MINI/mini.nvim.
The plan was to wait until when 'mini.statuscolumn' and 'mini.terminals' are implemented, but decided to just do it now.
Here is the release post: nvim-mini.org/blog/2025-10...

I'd also like to thank @lukas.famichiki.jp.ap.brid.gy for doing huge work of manually approving all my previous posts before knowing that suspension would be lifted. This probably helped the case, really.

I've been interested to try Nushell for some time now. Several weeks ago decided to give it a try.
To me it looks good enough to daily drive, but only if you are comfortable adjusting the setup after new releases (as both language and shell behavior is not quite stable yet).
