VimPorn

There is a large community on reddit dedicated to vim: neovim, vim, plugins, vimporn. And in order not to miss some interesting things that happen in the world of vim, I threw in a bash script. The script displays the top 5 best posts for the year for each subreddit. The article will contain the script itself, and I will also talk in my own words about each post that made it to the top.

Bash script

Below is a bash script with which you can poll all subreddits (vim, neovim, vimplugins, vimporn) and get the best posts of the year.

API documentation: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api

Code

#!/bin/bash -
LIMIT=5
one of (hour, day, week, month, year, all)
PERIOD="year"
clear
for subreddit in neovim vim vimplugins vimporn;
do
echo "{subreddit}/top/.json?t={LIMIT}"
curl -s $LINK|python -mjson.tool|grep permalink|  cut -d" -f4|sed 's!^!https://www.reddit.com!'
sleep 10
done

LIMIT – the number of top posts we want to receive

PERIOD – can be substituted: hour, day, week, month, year or for all time

In line for subreddit in neovim vim vimplugins vimporn; you can indicate your subreddits that are interesting to you.

Now you can go through all the tops and understand all the current trends. I’ll start with dessert – vimporn.

Reddit where people post their screenshots. A cute cat, a beautiful sunset can be sent to friends or acquaintances, but such a number will not work with Vim. So people have found a place where there are the same connoisseurs.

3rd place (Why are Scandinavians so good at Vim?)

Post link: Why are Scandinavians so good at Vim?

There’s a play on words here. Why are Scandinavians good at vim? Yes, because they are Vi Kings!

Comedians.

A man made this cool coffee stand with vim hotkeys. People immediately wrote to him in the comments: Shut up and take my money!!!

I would also bribe such a stand.

Post link: This is what we call 1 in a million. I was going for a walk and found this car with a vim sticker on it. Who tf would put this into his car

The person was so impressed that someone put a sticker with the Vim logo on their car that they made a post on Reddit. He was immediately told in the comments that this car was probably controlled using hjkl.

PS

Felt-tip pens for taste and color ~~porn~~ different. It’s strange, but I personally liked completely different ones that didn’t make it to the top. I decided to share them below too:
