nvim-web-server

I have been a vim user for a very long time. I might use IDEs from time to time but when they go off the rails I always come back to vim. You can do many things with vim, from using it as a regular test editor to making it an "AI editor". Your imagination and skills to write Lua code are the limit. And most of the time someone already did the heavy lifting for you, so you can simply install a package.

What I did not think I would see is a website served from Neovim buffers running on an old Thinkpad. There is a lot to unpack in this one sentence. And the blog post is absolutely worth reading. The most surprising part might actually be that the setup performs decently. Thinking about it for a second it makes sense, but somehow understanding and accepting that it does is still not that easy.

I really enjoy hacks like this. Especially when the answer to "why" is a Jurassic Park meme.
