## What it is
NVUI is a modern cross-platform graphical frontend for Neovim built with C++ and Qt. It provides externalized UI features like a custom titlebar, external command line and popup menu, multigrid support, smooth scrolling, and animated windows and cursor.

## Use cases
- run neovim with a modern gui instead of a terminal
- get an external command line and popup menu for neovim
- use neovim with smooth scrolling and animated windows
- customize the titlebar, fonts, and cursor of a neovim frontend
- use a lightweight neovim gui on windows, linux, or macos

## When to choose
- you want a native GUI wrapper around Neovim rather than a terminal emulator
- you want externalized cmdline, popupmenu, and multigrid rendering with animations
- you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux and want a Qt-based Neovim frontend

## When to avoid
- you prefer editing in a terminal or VS Code-style editor
- you need a frontend under active development with frequent releases
- you cannot build from source or rely on prebuilt binaries for your platform

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, editor
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: neovim, neovim-gui, qt, text-editor-frontend, macos, linux
