Hey HN,

I’m excited to share golf.vim, a Vim plugin that delivers daily editing challenges right inside your editor—like a crossover between VimGolf and Wordle. Each day (or on-demand by difficulty), you get a short puzzle where you aim to match a target text in the fewest keystrokes possible. Once you succeed, your strokes and time are submitted to a leaderboard, where you can compare your scores (Eagle, Birdie, Bogey, etc.) with others.

Key Highlights:

- Daily Challenges: Automatically fetch a fresh puzzle each day, or select challenges by difficulty, date, or tag.

- Leaderboards: After completing each puzzle, you will see the top 5 shortest keylogs from start to puzzle completion.

- Scoring: Each puzzle has a par; your final result could be an Eagle, Birdie, Par, Bogey, or worse.

- Built in Public: The community suggested extra commands like :Golf easy and more flexible scoreboard displays, and helped shape the MVP.

Check out the README for setup instructions, screenshots, and details. I’d love your feedback—especially if you have challenge ideas or feature suggestions. Enjoy, and happy golfing!
