Show HN: Daily Vim – Master Vim with Spaced Repetition

3 points by dgsiegel 9 days ago

Hey HN,

After years of using Vim, I still found myself forgetting useful commands. There are so many hidden tricks, and mastering them all at once is overwhelming… I’d learn a great trick, only to realize weeks later that I had completely forgotten it.

I tried everything—cheatsheets, tutorials, even keeping a notebook. But nothing really stuck.

So I built Daily Vim to solve this problem:

- Each day, you get a bite-sized, actionable Vim tip.

- Rate your familiarity, so the system adapts to you.

- Tips follow spaced repetition, helping you remember them long-term.

Why?

Vim is powerful, but hard to master. Most resources dump everything on you at once. Daily Vim is built to reinforce what you learn, so you can stop forgetting useful commands.

Who’s it for?

- Beginners struggling to get past `:q!`

- Experienced users who want to expand their toolkit

- Power users who don’t want to forget what they’ve learned

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What’s your biggest struggle with Vim?
