Happy to answer any nvim questions while I'm here.

Is anyone in the nvim community working on unifying UI widgets (popovers and pickers) for eventual inclusion in nvim itself?

Consistent UI for users and great UI APIs for plugin devs would be a nice perk.

I have a couple of nvim plugins in flight and building the UI has been the hardest part so far. (A couple of examples: https://imgur.com/a/RZV2eYJ )

Yup!

We want to create interfaces to make this simpler for people to use.

One example is here: https://github.com/mjlbach/neovim-ui which is just in a separate repo to make it easier to work on rather than one huge PR.

This is an extension of the ideas that I started in https://github.com/nvim-lua/popup.nvim and a few other places.

The idea would to be to create interfaces that users, plugins and/or GUIs could override to provide a unified experience while still being customizable for users.

(and as a self plug, I think we have a lot of interesting ideas in telescope.nvim about UI that could be upstreamed over time)

Jokes (and especially inside jokes) don't really go over well here on HN.

There's a milestone and date here https://github.com/neovim/neovim/milestone/19 But the meme probably is just as accurate
