## What it is
A Neovim plugin that completely replaces the UI for messages, the command line, and the popup menu using the experimental vim.ui_attach API. It offers configurable views, message routing via filters, syntax-highlighted cmdline, and statusline components.

## Use cases
- replace neovim message UI with nicer notifications
- customize the vim command line with icons and syntax highlighting
- show command output in normal buffers instead of the more prompt
- route vim messages to different views like popups or virtual text
- browse full message history with telescope or fzf

## When to choose
- you want a modern, highly customizable UI for Neovim messages and cmdline
- you use Neovim nightly and want to try the vim.ui_attach API
- you already use nvim-notify, nui.nvim, or treesitter

## When to avoid
- you need a rock-solid, stable editor setup
- you use an older Neovim version below 0.9.0
- you dislike experimental plugins with known upstream issues
