What is instant.nvim?
instant.nvim is a collaborative editing plugin for Neovim that enables multiple users to edit files together in real-time. It provides real-time synchronization with conflict resolution and is written entirely in Lua without external dependencies, making it lightweight and integrated directly into the Neovim editor environment.
Neovim users, such as developers or teams, who need to collaboratively edit code or text files in real-time within their existing Neovim workflow, without switching to a separate collaborative editor.
