Vimgolf.ai

Vimgolf.ai is a browser based trainer for learning the Vim text editor by playing interactive levels. Instead of reading documentation, users edit real files in a live terminal session running Neovim, clear each level, and try to do it in as few keystrokes as possible. A built in opponent called the vimbot can be raced on keystroke count, and leaderboards and weekly challenges add a competitive layer. The content is organized as a skill map. It runs from the basics, such as moving the cursor, deleting characters and saving, through words, deletes and macros, and covers 72 skills across 216 levels in total. A terminal guide walks beginners through the first steps, and the approach is built around using each command in context so that it sticks. It suits developers, system administrators and anyone who wants to get faster in a modal editor, from complete beginners to people who already know the basics and want to learn macros and more advanced motions. Pricing is published on the home page. The free tier costs $0 and lets anyone play the first 4 skills with no account. A free account unlocks the whole basics zone of 15 skills and saves progress. Premium is a one time payment of $10 for lifetime access to every zone, all 72 skills and 216 levels, every player's solve on every leaderboard, and every skill added later. The vendor states there is no subscription and no renewal, and company purchases are offered through a separate option. Tax is shown at checkout.
