I'm surprised they don't even mention vimtutor. It's preinstalled on every machine with vim (to the best of my knowledge). This seems like a cool project, but might as well give a shout-out to the original concept.

vimtutor is to Babbel what this is to duolingo. Many will prefer learning through a game but some want a more textbook approach. Honestly, anything to get more people on vim and emacs is a good thing in my book!
> vimtutor is to Babbel what this is to duolingo
It took me half a minute to realize that you probably meant "vimtutor is to VIM master what Babbel is to duolingo".
Isn't it exactly the same thing? If a:b=c:d then a:c=b:d.

The problem is that it's not the relationship between vimtutor and Babbel that you're comparing to the relationship between vimmaster and Duolingo.
Thats exactly what I meant to say. Thanks!

I actually opened this hoping it’ an alternative to vimtutor but for experienced/intermediate users.
Is there such a thing? I feel like someone has probably made something this - something that progressively works through soem of the more complex features of vim.
I’ve found soem absolute gems mostly through online blogs and reading through vim docs
If anyone has any repos that’d recommended I’d be happy to try!

Unfortunately vimtutor was dropped by the neovim fork
