Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
Just launched my app, VimGolf.ai! As users complete the levels on the map, I introduce progressively more complicated concepts — it’s aimed at people who have never used Vim. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Uses unholy amounts of CPU making my laptop's fans spin out of control. Editing is very slow, too. Not really a good impression of vim. I'm still going to recommend people to use vimtutor to get used to vim.

That page was overwhelming and visually tiring for me, especially with the animation, so I gave up on it, sorry.

I'm all for the people who want to use nerdy software like Vim to do things in their own special way without ever touching a mouse, but I'm amused thinking, how dense is the UX of your text editor if people are coming up with creative forms of training to learn it?

The pricing says one time payment but the price is $25 for 6 months. Is this 6 months of access or 6 months of updates and lifetime access to those updated versions?
