2 years ago Hey @Lyude ,
Nice work there! I'm going to test you fork and use it as my daily driver if it works nice, was always with the impression that this was an "abandoned" project, but it is still the best neovim's UI for me (as someone who came from gvim for vim).
Would be awesome to join forces and merge your fork into here, but maybe the maintainer is not active anymore (considering the latest commit date and lack of replies to issues/PRs, including this one), so we might need to consider your fork the main one for contributions?
Also, would be nice to add it to this list, so it can attract more contributors: https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim

Hi! I'm a long time neovim-gtk user, and for a while now I've actually been working on making quite a number of improvements to neovim-gtk on a fork I've been maintaining on my Github. Some of the changes here I've made are pretty significant, like the conversion of neovim-gtk from neovim-lib to nvim-rs so that we can use async code in neovim-gtk. I was thinking of just forking the project, but I wanted to see if you might be interested in integrating the changes I've made so far first. I'm also planning to work on moving neovim-gtk over to the latest Gtk+ version, and a coworker of mine might also be working on it in their spare time. Since I use neovim-gtk as my daily driver for work and don't really plan on ever changing my setup, I think I'm willing to help maintain neovim-gtk in the long term (granted, at my own pace based on how much spare time I have). I figured that might help since it seems like the project has been inactive for a little while now :).
FWIW as well if you're curious about my background, most of my experience with development is working on projects like the linux kernel ("Lyude Paul" is usually the git name I use there), and I've also contributed to projects like libinput, panfrost, Xorg, igt-gpu-tools, and a number of others.
