I have verified that this feature request has not been made before I have checked the issues tab, and did not find a similar feature request. I understand that my issue will be closed if it is a duplicate. Feature Type New Plugin Feature description I am quite a fan of https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki and of nvf, but I'm not confident enough to set it up manually. Neorg is kind of cool but overly complicated IMO, but VimWiki seems to be the most minimalist notetaking plugin, and I would love to be able to use it with nvf. Obviously this could just be something that I set up myself, so I don't expect it to be a priority!! But I figured I should request it since nobody else has yet :) Alternatives I have tried Neorg, but I believe it is over-complicated for my use case, I just want to take notes, but the Neorg project is trying to become a full fledged life-organiser.
