Same here, in fact something I wish the neovim team would do is create a book where popular plugin authors create tutorials that recreate basic functionality of their plugins.
Seems like a no brainer that would help bring in more revenue too, it'd also be an "evergreen" book as new others can contribute over time.
I can't be the only one that would immediately buy a copy. :D
I'm actually trying to work on a video-series to do just this. I've made my own rudimentary plugins reproducing several popular ones, and would like to walk through how I made: a) file-tree b) picker/fzf replacment c) hop/leap replacement d) surround plugin e) code-formatter f) hydra (sub-modes) g) many "UI" (interactive) buffers, etc.
None of these are published because the popular ones are better and provide more functionality, but I want to share what I believe is more valuable: what I learned while writing them.
