glrnvim

A GPU-accelerated neovim GUI.

glrnvim is the fastest neovim gui in existence. Using the GPU for rendering enables optimizations that simply aren't possible without it.

See the speed from the screenshot:

About

Roadmap

• Make a rendering benchmark vim plugin to prove this is the fastest neovim GUI.
