Hi 👋🏿 ,

I built and maintain this plugin largely on my own, there is no team of developers and I heavily depend on users for contributions and bug fixes.

here are a few things that you as a user can do to make maintaining this plugin easier for me as currently I face daily feature requests/issues and question which at the moment as I maintain several plugins makes it impossible for me to balance my time and still pursue other things.

At this pace I will likely have to deprecate one or more plugins just to get some breathing room. To avoid this here are a list of things you should please do before opening issues.

  • Before opening a usage question e.g. how does x work? please please read the README carefully and then check the help docs under :help bufferline.nvim. Lastly if there is no help there please check for historical issues that might resolve your problem. If this doesn't work for you and you do raise an issue, once you find a solution please raise a PR to document it for other users in the future.
  • When opening a feature request please consider whether or not it has previously been discussed and comment there ideally by thumbs-ing up the issue rather than posting. Also consider whether or not this issue is useful for most people. If a feature is intended to improve a specific usecase that only a few users might have this will add complexity to the code base, increase the work of maintaining it for a benefit that only a few users will have.

From my perspective this plugin has long done 99% of what I will ever need/want it to do, ultimately it's just a nice bit of UI for nvim whereas the true work is the thing I'm editing, there's only so many more things it makes sense to add in my book and I'm not looking to endlessly add features just for the sake of it.
