I've been working on Neovide for a couple months, it supports ligatures, emoji, and a nifty smear animated cursor. Maybe some folks here would find it useful or interesting. Technically it uses Vulkan and is based on Google's Skia rendering library. Further it uses HarfBuzz for shaping and Winit for window management.

That cursor animation is a surprisingly strong selling point.

I was like "must be typical HN hype" but seeing in action makes me want to download this as soon as I get to my computer. Its so often in vim where I don't know where my cursor is.

Let me know how it goes if you do try it

Thanks for making! My distro doesn't have a package yet so waiting...

I've only got a windows box, so its probably unlikely for me to be able to make a package for whatever distro you are using. Building should be very easy though and I would love some help working out any issues in building for any particular distro
