Comparison to Akianonymus/nvim-colorizer.lua

[HaleTom]

How does this repo compare to https://github.com/Akianonymus/nvim-colorizer.lua?

I see that both are about 110 commits ahead of where they forked off from the same repo, namely: norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua.

I also see that Akianonymus has been a contributor here in the past.

I can't raise an issue at Akianonymus's repo, so I'm asking here: what are the key differences of this over the other repo?

Akianonymus obviously created the fork to contribute to this repo.

That said, it'd be interesting to find out why this fork exists. Has @norcalli stopped maintaining their version? What was wrong with the norcalli version that @catgoose has improved? I'd love to see that in the readme!

Sorry, I have been busy. The history is something like this:

According to siduck, owner of nvchad, nvim-colorizer.lua was forked from norcalli because he disappeared. siduck and aki maintained nvchad/nvim-colorizer.lua, but siduck and aki became busy and siduck only wanted nvchad related plugins in his nvchad organization:

#88 (comment)

siduck transfered ownership over to me and I have been maintaining it since.

Adding the differences between norcalli and this repo is a great idea, and I think I may take a look into that. But if you want a quick rundown you could look at the default options in this repo and norcali's.

My trie implementation is more space efficient, customer colors can be defined, tests/benchmarks can be run from Makefile, tailwind names can be updated from custom class names defined with tailwind, etc...

That's what I can think of off the top of my head, but I will see about updating the readme soon!

Let me know if you have any questions, please!
