Very cool post. This really helps !

However I would prefer an extended example. I think one major thing that people want to do with a custom plugin is to change what is display in the current buffer.

Maybe an example on how to change "-" to small point in a markdown file will be pertinent ?

Thank you! However, I would like to keep the example simple to follow. If you want to see an extended example, you can check out some simple plugins such as mini.nvim. For instance, this one spans within 300 lines, and there are also detailed comments explaining what it does.

Yes, I understand perfectly why you are keeping it minimal. Thanks for the link to mini.vim.

Nice article.
I'm wondering if there's a 'reactive' streamlined way to hot-reload changes, especially when working with the editor's various APIs.

Thanks! You can try the solution in this reddit comment.
