Vim Training Course is Live !

Around 9 months ago, this started as a personal repository of vim commands in a Notion document and today finally the course is live at https://vimtraining.com

While I could have gone with some other websites like udemy or egghead, this project gave me a chance to learn other technologies like Elixir and online video streaming and I ended up building the site from scratch, a classic developer move right there.

Building this project was a nice ride and involved a lot of learning for me personally and now I hope I can add some value to your vim learning through this.

Indie Hackers community gave me a bunch of feedback during the initial days of the project and I thank you all for that.

Cheers and Keep Learning !

    Nice! I could definitely have used this when starting to learn vim last year. There's enough content online but a guided path to becoming a pro vim user is lacking.

      Vim help is the best resource if you've already done the basics !
      The course tries to follow the structure of the docs as well.

    Great! We need more Vim indie-hackers!

    I like your idea. I will try the same program for my dennis berry coaching and training project that hosted on WordPress.

    hey big vim user here -- saw you post on something else on indiehackers - just dropping a comment since I'd be a potential buyer

    would love to see advanced but specifically, non-plugin based lessons. things on the undo tree, moving forwards and backwards in time (:earlier 10m), and other advanced topics that are similar

    as another user mentioned, there's a lot of content online for beginners, but would love resources beyond the help pages on the more advanced ideas.

      Hey Stephen,

      The current course is structured more for beginner users. However, I am working on adding a section to the site which will contain more advanced topics. See you around !

    Great, VIM is such a great tool but also a source of discussions among developers

    I really like how simple and to the point the website is, well done!

    I personally use VS Code as my IDE and nano (rather than VIM for simplicity sake) whenever I have to edit a file on a remote server.

    I suck at nano and would happily pay up to $10 for a quick interactive course, something that would teach me the basic commands and tricks and would take less than half an hour to complete.

      Thanks Michal !
      The site and the course content was designed to be to the point without any extra distractions.
      I hardly find myself using nano since I usually have a fully configured vim on remote servers as well. Hope you find the resources you're looking for.
