Hello all! Sorry for the (very long) delay in updating this plugin. I've had other priorities, mainly work and maintaining flatten.nvim and nvim-cokeline, that have kept me away from this project.

However, I am finally starting on a complete rewrite of Veil which will allow for far more advanced features such as hover events, as well as more consistent animation timing. I've learned a lot about both Lua and UI frameworks since I initially created this plugin, and I finally feel ready to build this into what it was originally meant to be.

I don't want to give a time-frame for the rewrite, as I did that in the past and ended up not having the time to work on this, but I will update here when I can. I hope to deliver a much better startup screen soon.

Stay tuned!

Hi. What is the current stage of plugin development? Do you need any help?

Hi. What is the current stage of plugin development? Do you need any help?

Haven't worked on this one in a while, mainly because I don't use a startup screen plugin and have become busier recently, but I still plan on finishing the rewrite when I have time. My plan is similar to nui-components.nvim which I'm doing some work on as well, so check that out for now :)

As far as help goes, I don't want anyone to waste their time so I wouldn't recommend working with any of the code that exists in this repo atm. I'll definitely accept contributions when I have an updated version ready though!

Hey man, whenever you're ready! Note, nui-components.nvim is also a fancy plugin. The functionality it gives is cool, however, personally I don't like those cursor movement animations. If you are planning to make veil similar to nui-components, would recommend/request to make those animations as optional.
