Unfortunately, it appears as though the VimAwesome project is dead. Their repo has little activity and, as of 3 days ago, the site is down. We probably should consider pointing people to another source, at least until the site returns.

Agreed, thanks for bringing it up.
Do you have any ideas about an alternative project?

Unfortunately, I was only able to find this shortlist. It's nowhere near as comprehensive as VA, but it does seem to be more active.

Actually, upon further research another few options might be vim-pi and the GitHub Topic

It could be possible the website returns. Seems to be a DNS issue currently. I think more ideally a new maintainer or list owner can take over.
- Add a note that vimawesome is down and the DNS issue. (https://github.com/vim-awesome/vim-awesome/issues/396)
Github topic is bad UX in general but at least shows most popular (in terms of stars). Also limited to only those on github.
- We can add it as an additional source.
That shortlist is difficult as there is no context (besides the title) to what the plugins do.
- We can add it as an additional source.
vim-pi I couldn't figure out quickly where the list would be there. Also hasn't been updated in awhile.

- We can add https://nvim-awesome.vercel.app/ as an additional source. They have included awesome-neovim and vim plugins.
Great! As for vim-pi, it appears to be dead as well. It’s linked in Nixpkgs, and I forgot where the update times were on BitBucket.

Just so you know, the VA website is still up, it's just that their domain name has been hijacked (I think someone forgot to renew it). I explained how to work around it in the related issue. 🙂

Hello everyone,

For what it's worth, we've restored vimawesome.com and plan to keep it online.
