instant.nvim is a collaborative editing plugin for Neovim written in Lua with no external dependencies. It supports single-buffer and session sharing, virtual cursors, and includes a built-in localhost server.
Use cases
- pair program in Neovim with a colleague
- collaboratively edit a shared buffer in real time
- share an entire editing session across multiple users
- run a self-hosted collaborative editing server on localhost or LAN
- see other users' cursors and spectate their edits in Neovim
When to avoid
- you use Vim rather than Neovim
- you need a hosted service with accounts and access control
- you need active development or recent updates
