The older I get the more time I spend in the terminal. I really appreciate services that accommodate accessing information from the terminal.
For example, I am a huge fan of https://cht.sh to quickly access docs for programming languages and https://wttr.in to get a nice display of the weather.
I thought it would be fun to be able to quickly search for neovim plugins within the terminal. Since I already have a curated list of neovim plugins via https://neovimcraft.com, I thought it would be a fun project to work on for the day.
So I'm happy to announce https://nvim.sh - a website that makes it easy to find neovim plugins.
Using the service is easy and the default response is text/plain.
To figure out how the service works simply curl the website:
1curl https://nvim.sh
2nvim.sh - neovim plugin search from the terminal

Searching for a plugin uses a fuzzy matching algorithm (Levenshtein distance) to find the best matches based on the name and description.
Since all of the plugins are tagged, you can also search for plugins matching
the tag with /t/:search
