Great!

I used to think that somebody made such type of screenshots manually with Canva or something.

Tried it, very satisfying to capture a screenshot of the code with it.

Really Awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

For vim users!
We don't need a tool or something to take "beautiful screenshots". Just capture the whole window, you'll get a beautiful code screenshot with the most beautiful UI (but not with nvchad, it sucks, don't use it). so that you can flex 💪 whenever you share it.
Vim supremacy

Disclaimer: I don't have any disrespect for nvchad, I just tried to say "build your own nvim", in a funny way

It's just the basis of the preferences, most people enjoy using vscode, so that's for them. And thanks for your opinion!
