AstroNvim Community Repository
A community repository of common plugin specifications
AstroNvim's community repository contains plugin configuration specifications — a collection of plugins contributed by the community for AstroNvim, a NeoVim configuration. These specifications help manage the variety of plugins used in AstroNvim. To integrate the community plugins, add the provided configurations to your plugins setup preferably before you import your own plugins to guarantee all AstroCommunity changes are loaded before your own overrides. If you are using the AstroNvim Template This can be done in your lua/community.lua file. -

Crazy Eddies GUI System (CEGUI)
A fast, powerful and adaptable GUI solution
Crazy Eddie's GUI (CEGUI) system is a graphical user interface C++ library. It was designed particularly for the needs of videogames, but the library is usable for non-game tasks, such as any other type of applications (rendering/visualisation/virtual reality) and tools. It is designed for user flexibility in look-and-feel, as well as being adaptable to the user's choice in tools and operating systems. Established in 2003, CEGUI sees continual, active development and remains one of the most powerful and most popular options for developers requiring an adaptable and efficient GUI solution. CEGUI is fully supported by the developers that created - and continue to develop - the library, and who are accessible via the project's dedicated internet forums and IRC channel. For more information, more screenshots and for news, check out out our homepage: http://cegui.org.uk The repository is now at bitbucket (including our issue/bug tracker): https://bitbucket.org/cegui -

Lapis
A web framework for Lua and OpenResty written in MoonScript
Lapis is a framework for building web applications in Lua (or MoonScript) that primarily targets OpenResty, a high-performance web platform that runs on a customized version of Nginx. Lapis can also be used in other server environments, being compatible with any modern version of Lua. With OpenResty, Lua is run directly inside of the Nginx worker using LuaJIT, giving you the smallest barrier between the webserver and your code. Have a look at Web Framework Benchmarks just to see how OpenResty stacks up against other platforms. Utilizing the power of Lua coroutines, you can write clean code that looks synchronous but can achieve high throughput by automatically running asynchronously without blocking. Networking operations like database queries and HTTP requests will automatically yield to allow for handling concurrent requests, all without all that callback spaghetti seen in other asynchronous platforms. -

LuaRadio
A lightweight, embeddable software-defined radio framework
LuaRadio is a lightweight, embeddable flow graph signal processing framework for software-defined radio. It provides a suite of source, sink, and processing blocks, with a simple API for defining flow graphs, running flow graphs, creating blocks, and creating data types. LuaRadio is built on LuaJIT, has a small binary footprint of under 750 KB (including LuaJIT), has no external hard dependencies, and is MIT-licensed. LuaRadio can be used to rapidly prototype software radios, modulation/demodulation utilities, and signal processing experiments. It can also be embedded into existing radio applications to serve as a user-scriptable engine for signal processing. LuaRadio blocks are written in pure Lua, but can use LuaJIT's FFI to wrap external libraries, like VOLK, liquid-dsp, and others, for computational acceleration, sophisticated processing, and interfacing with SDR hardware. -

Luvit
Lua + libUV + jIT = pure awesomesauce
Luvit implements the same APIs as Node.js, but in Lua. This helps teams migrate without having to learn a new way of programming. Choose your async model; we don’t mind; we encourage experimentation. If you don’t like callbacks and event emitters, use coroutines and write blocking-style code without actually blocking your event loop. The various projects in the luvit ecosystem can be mixed and matched to build the ideal runtime for your application. The luvit CLI tool can be used as a scripting platform just like node. This can be used to run lua scripts as standalone servers, clients, or other tools. -

Neovim 99
Neovim AI agent done right
Neovim 99 is an experimental GitHub repository created by well-known developer and educator ThePrimeagen that explores what he describes as the “ideal AI workflow” for developers who want a streamlined, high-quality integration of AI tooling into real coding environments — particularly focused on tools like Neovim and agent-centric workflows. Rather than a polished end-product, this repo serves as a playground for testing, iterating, and documenting workflows that integrate AI agents directly into everyday coding tools, emphasizing rapid feedback loops, automation, and minimal friction. The project often includes configuration files, scripts, and examples that show how to coerce modern AI assistants into productive roles within editors, plugins, and terminal workflows, with a focus on “no excuses” productivity. It blends examples from Neovim, agent automation, and developer ergonomics to illustrate how AI can be baked into existing environments.
