Hi there folks,

I made a new plugin for neovim so you can control Zola from right inside the editor. If there are any neovim enjoyers here, I hope they find it helpful as well.

**features**

- 🛠 **Build** , **serve** , and **check** Zola sites without leaving Neovim
- 📝 **Scaffold new pages and sections** with default TOML front matter
- 🔧 Configure build/serve/check/page/section options per command for a streamlined workflow
- 🔑 Define your own keymaps or use user commands (`:ZolaBuild`, `:ZolaServe`, etc.)
- 🛠 Use Lua API functions for advanced integration with your Neovim setup

### ⚡ Example usage

```lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>znp", function()
  vim.ui.input({ prompt = "Enter page slug: " }, function(result)
    require("zola").create_page({
      slug = "blog/" .. result,
      page_is_dir = true,
      draft = true,
      open = true
    })
  end)
end, { desc = "Create a new blog post" })

```

Would love feedback, issues, and ideas for improving it further.
