I'm 13. I have a 4GB RAM laptop with an HDD and an i5-3330U processor.
VS Code? Too heavy. Neovim from scratch? Too much config.
So I built Quantum Vim — a pre-configured Neovim distro that:
- Uses ~26MB RAM (less than Task Manager)
- Has LSP, autocomplete, file tree, Git integration
- Starts up instantly
- Feels like VS Code but runs in the terminal
I use it every day. No lag. No bloat.
🧠 Why I built it
I needed an editor that worked on my low-spec laptop. I didn't want to spend weeks tweaking configs. I just wanted to code.
So I built a Neovim config that works out of the box.
📊 Memory Usage
Here's what it looks like in Task Manager:
26MB RAM. Not 150MB. Not 100MB. Just 26MB.
That's less than a single Chrome tab. Less than Windows Explorer. Less than Task Manager itself.
🛠️ Features
- LSP — code completion, hover, go-to-definition
- Autocomplete — snippets, suggestions, and more
- File Tree — navigate projects like VS Code
- Git integration — see changes, diff, and commit
- Pre-configured — zero config required
- Lifetime updates — never pay again
💸 Price
$10 — one-time payment. Lifetime updates. No subscriptions.
I'm a student building tools I actually use. This helps me save up for a better laptop.

🙏 Why I'm sharing this
I built this for myself. But I figured other developers might find it useful too. If you're tired of bloated editors or spending hours on configs, give it a shot.
Open to feedback, questions, or just a friendly conversation. ❤️
