I've used neovim for a couple years now, but had trouble using it professionally for devops work because package managers and such tend to break in certain environments i.e. docker containers; remote servers. Rather than go with the graybeard option of using plain vim in unusual environments, I experimented with not using any package managers and just directly controlling the environment.

This worked surprisingly well, so I reworked my dotfiles into a shareable format - which is freak.nvim

Hope others who have similar problems or just prefer this type of control freakery find it useful. :)

The PKM space for neovim plugins is a surprisingly deep rabbithole but it can take quite a while to find what you need.

For completions and tagging https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide works well for me and does pretty much everything I need.

There are also a glut of all-in-one solutions like https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg (org-mode for neovim) and https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim.

Graphing is a bit harder because it doesn't intuitively match up with nvim's interface, but I'm pretty sure I saw something on Reddit the other day.

I should look into this because I have over 132000 words of text in my notes (more than the average novel) and I'm curious whether I can 'talk' to my second brain via a LLM.

Personally I use insync to sync my notes to the cloud, and then sync them to my devices with similar apps for android.

Then it's just finding apps for editing the notes; everything from neovim on termux to just using Obsidian as a frontend is viable. But mobile is kind of a bad platform for plain text editing imho.
