Summary
TechBrunch's Vim edition is a morning meetup for people who live inside modal editors. Attendees gather over brunch at Beltempo, the restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont in Iidabashi, and spend the hour on show-and-tells of .vimrc and init.lua configurations, plugin recommendations, and practical tips for editing faster without leaving the home row. The invitation is deliberately broad: long-time Vim users, people just starting with modal editing, Neovim and Evil users, developers who rely on Vim emulation inside other applications, and anyone who has ever had to look up how to quit the editor. The format is conversation rather than talks, so there is no stage and no slide deck requirement. This is a small group by design, not a large conference-style gathering. RSVPs matter here: the organizers may relocate within the venue, so confirmed attendees are the ones who can find the table, and first-time attendees who RSVP and appear on the confirmed list have their meal covered.
About the community

TechBrunch is a recurring morning series that pairs a technical topic with a sit-down meal, usually at a hotel restaurant in central Tokyo. Each edition picks one theme and keeps the group small, so the format stays conversational: configuration walkthroughs, tool comparisons, and questions asked across the table rather than from an audience. Beginners and long-time practitioners are mixed on purpose, and first-time attendees who confirm their RSVP eat for free.
