That's a very good news for me. Thank you for spreading the word! I want to tell Bluesky a small story about @jasonlong.me. He is the original author of the Neovim logo. I am no artist, so when it was time for 'mini.nvim' to get one, I emailed him to ask if he is up for help.

I've been using @echasnovski.com's MiniMax #neovim setup recently and it's great. I appreciate the consistency across the mini.nvim plugins and how well tested everything is. I'm still adapting after years of LazyVim, but everything feels lean and fast. nvim-mini.org/MiniMax/

He graciously agreed to work something out. Free of charge. But by the time I've read the answer, I've already had an idea about pixel art style logo. Mostly because I could do it myself with basic tools. It also turned out beneficial to adapt to any module, since it's quite versatile.

So although we didn't have an opportunity to work together on the logo, I gained a respect for Jason for answering a cold email about a free work inquiry to help a relatively new open source project.

I had forgotten about this! I have a soft spot for Neovim so I’m always happy to help the project in the small ways that I can.
