history

Project history and usage

Page is a streaming terminal pager that presents command output, files, logs, and diffs through Neovim and can reuse an existing Neovim process.

Project history

Page was built as a Neovim-aware pager rather than a standalone text viewer. Its implementation uses terminal buffers for ANSI processing and the `$NVIM` environment variable to route output into an existing Neovim instance.

The project also ships `nv`, a guarded file-opening client inspired by neovim-remote. Together the commands cover both pager input and opening text files in a running editor without spawning nested sessions.

Adoption history

Page is packaged by Homebrew and Nix according to the supplied package metadata. Its audience is the narrower group of shell users who already use Neovim and want the same configuration and interaction model for logs, diffs, files, and piped output.

How it is used

Set Page as `$PAGER`, pipe command output into it, or pass files directly. It exposes Neovim's navigation, search, mappings, plugins, and configuration while displaying input as it arrives.

The `nv` companion opens text files in an existing Neovim instance and avoids non-text files unless explicitly permitted. Page documents no separate configuration or credentials file because it reuses Neovim's facilities.

Why package nerds care

Page treats Neovim as a composable Unix pager while addressing practical costs of editor-backed paging: it interprets ANSI output through a terminal buffer, streams incoming text before EOF, avoids nested Neovim instances, and can bypass Neovim for short output.

Timeline

Initial design: Page combined terminal-buffer ANSI handling with Neovim's remote-session address mechanism.
Current design: The package includes both the `page` pager and the `nv` text-file opener.

Related projects

The README directly contrasts Page with vimpager and nvimpager, and says its `nv` command reimplements a focused subset of neovim-remote behavior.
