Hey y'all!

I built this interactive course after a year of learning vim and finding it to be extremely useful in my day to day development experience.

The course is designed to give you lots of interactive practice so you can develop the muscle memory needed to effectively use vim.

Would love to hear what you guys think about it :)

I just see a gray screen (after enabling javascript).

EDIT: with another browser, it seems to work, and it looks very cool! But I wonder, what is the interest of learning vim outside of vim? What are the advantages with respect to the similar tutorial "vimtutor" that comes with vim itself?

Awesome, glad you got it working :)

I use vim inside of vs code and it’s been awesome for my workflow.

vimtutor is a fantastic resource and I’d definitely recommend using it for anyone interested in learning vim.

vim.so gives you more interactive exercises and helps to show you real life examples of where and how vim would be useful.

Thanks for checking it out!

This is great! Another great resource I gotta plug is https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/vim-be-good . Essentially the same but it's a native vim plugin. It's free, doesn't require a login, and did I mention it's a native vim plugin?

Oh this is neat! I haven’t seen this one around before :) I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing

I've been considering Vim for a while now.. If I do choose to pick it up this will definitely be my first choice! Looks great :)

Wow thanks! Learning vim is fun :) I’m glad to see so many people interested in it

It would be nice if you at least listed what the exercises are before asking for money.

I agree to a degree. Listing a bit more about Vim itself for someone that might be coming from a development background but does not specifically know about Vim and it's benefits could be good, and maybe what TYPE of exercises will be involved (What will I be be able to do at the end) - but keeping the exercises a little secretive is great to keep interest :)
