Just thought I'd share here in the hopes of getting some feedback, and maybe it's useful for someone.
I created my first Neovim plugin, inspired by ranger.nvim (this is a fork of that) and other similar plugins. The main difference is allowing the user to choose between different popular terminal file managers so that they can try them out and see how they fit into their Neovim workflow. I also added some niceties like buffers are closed when deleting a file in the file manager and also allowing for completely replacing netrw.
Let me know what you think! I won't lie it took a lot more hours than I'd be willing to admit for something so simple. May also post to R***it since unfortunately that's still the bigger Neovim community.
Thanks for checking it out! If you want there's some other options to try, like pure lua ones, listed at awesome-neovim.
