## What it is
A collection of quality-of-life plugins for Neovim, written in Lua, bundling features like a fuzzy picker, file explorer, dashboard, notifier, animations, and image viewing. Each 'snack' is an independently enableable module that enhances the Neovim editing experience.

## Use cases
- fuzzy find files and buffers in neovim
- show a dashboard when opening neovim
- get prettier notifications in neovim
- browse files with a file explorer inside neovim
- view images inside the terminal in neovim
- delete buffers without breaking window layout
- open the current file on github from neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want a single plugin providing many common QoL features
- you want a fast picker/fuzzy finder as a Telescope alternative
- you want declarative dashboards, indent guides, and notifications from one dependency

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you only need one small feature and prefer a minimal dedicated plugin
- you rely on tooling incompatible with its picker or UI modules

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, developer-tools, animation, file-system, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: neovim, lua, quality-of-life, fuzzy-finder, dashboard, notifications, file-explorer
