If you think that it needs some new features do the same or if you are feeling shy, just use it yourself, you don't have to do it if you don't want.

Became dizzy after smashing my head on the table for hours figuring out how Lua works.

A random guy named SidonTheTroll, out of nowhere, was finding difficulty multitasking for his academics and due to his pc (Intel Celeron 1.1 GHz, iHD 500, 4 gb ram, 1 gb swap), his swap memory was causing problems for him. So he decided to eqit using VSCodium for daily use and started using NeoVim, but his previous configs were lacking most modern features so gradually started using NvChad. Some time later, he found it difficult to use it because it was for QWERTY users and did a brainless move of getting to the old config.
-
After some weeks, he got 4 days off from school so he decided that he will do everything to use NeoVim with all modern functions that was suitable for him. So he copied the NvChad repo and added his own wizardary to make it useful for him. And so NvChad Colemak was made.
-
Now in 2025, he started uploading braindead stuff again and this repo is up-to-date again.
