Add a configuration repository for inspiration?

^{Originally posted by no-mood March 20, 2024} Hi guys, I was starting to use nixvim (and nvim in general) and I was taking a look at the following configuration. Do you think it's a good idea to add a configuration repository, in the form of nix flakes, so that they can be grouped together and be used as inspiration? Thank you very much

I was thinking it might make sense to take inspiration from kickstart.nvim, which is popular because it manages to cover the basics while remaining small & simple, but also including a ton of inline documentation explaining pretty much everything.

Maybe even directly port kickstart.nvim to nixvim more or less one-for-one (kickstart.nixvim 😂)? It'd be interesting to compare the same config written in nix vs lua...

It would probably make sense to include a kickstart style example in this repo (as a nix template), and have nix check test that the config is valid. That way it'd always be up to date with the latest breaking changes.

kickstart.nvim.nix 🤣

I'm open to try and port it to nixvim, even without experience. What do you think? It could take less time for someone more experienced to do it, but I'm okay with that. If I start this project, what is the best approach?

I plan to give it a shot (maybe on stream) this WE. Your feedback, as a new user, will be very valuable of course.
