Officially going into beta! 🚀

✨ Announcement Time!

night-owl.nvim is officially moving into beta!

I've worked long and hard on this theme with the hope of bringing the best possible version of NightOwl originally created by Sarah Drasner. Interestingly enough, this was a first for me in many aspects:

• first Neovim plugin
• first Lua project
• first theme created by me
• first open source project I've committed to
• first 'release announcement'

Upcoming Release of v1.0

I've had a blast and I hope I can dedicate more time building this theme, even going beyond Sarah's original vision. Which brings me to what I'm hoping to achieve for the release of v1.0:

1. Broader language support: some languages have certain highlight groups that need to be explicitly defined, especially when you incorporate Tree-sitter and Semantic Tokens across several Neovim versions.
2. More consistent look & feel throughout languages: a good example of this is how R code looks in contrast to, say, JavaScript:
3. In-editor Help: code examples and basic docs to be accessible inside Neovim and reflecting README content
4. CI/CD: have a pipeline that can automate updating docs, run basic tests across different Neovim versions
5. A website! I'd love to accompany the official launch with a website that can flex my web dev muscle in an interesting way

Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has contributed reporting issues, answering my questions, creating PRs, and also starring this repo! You're all the best. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Cheers!
