Mean People Suck, Folks
(reddit.com)
I've been using Emacs since 1983; it's been my go-to editor the entire time. I've given talks on it, recorded videos, and generally have promoted it forever. I'm not quite ready to abandon it, but I am feeling pretty unhappy about r/emacs. For whatever reason, this subreddit seems to be inhabited by people who delight, when someone asks a reasonable question, in downvoting them and being as unpleasant as they can manage to be. This happened to me just today.

An introduction to Magit, an Emacs mode for Git
(masteringemacs.org)
Magit is the sweetener that masks the bitter taste you get when you have to commune through algebraic brevity with git. Magit – unlike other user interfaces bolted on top of a command line version control system – is faithful in its adherence to git’s vocabulary and capabilities.

Emacs Tree-sitter custom highlighting

A few years ago I blogged about custom tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting in emacs. I started out with highlighting certain keywords in red. I wanted to show the keywords that interrupt control flow:

Recurring checklists using Org Mode in Emacs

Based on my experience of building and maintaining professional and personal/hobby projects, I've come to realize that I often tend to prefer well documented checklists over automated scripts for recurring workflows.

The Road to Emacs Maximalism
(schonfinkel.github.io)
I’ve stumbled across a method of composing programs that excites me very much. In fact, my enthusiasm is so great that I must warn the reader to discount much of what I shall say as the ravings of a fanatic who thinks he has just seen a great light. (Knuth 1984, 1)

Show HN: Emacs on a Kobo Clara BW ebook reader
(github.com/enthdegree)
The Kobo Clara BW is a great platform for emacs via efbpad. This project describes a way to get terminal emacs running on it natively. The process is unchallenging but fairly involved. It is described in BUILD.md which is not complete and likely has typos. It should be followed by spirit and not by letter! Criticism and problems are included in TODO.md

Using Guile for Emacs
(lwn.net)
Emacs is, famously, an editor—perhaps far more—that is extensible using its own variant of the Lisp programming language, Emacs Lisp (or Elisp). This year's edition of EmacsConf, which is an annual "gathering" that has been held online for the past five years, had two separate talks on using a different variant of Lisp, Guile, for Emacs.

Emacs: Two New Standard Themes
(protesilaos.com)
The standard-themes is my third theme-related project. Unlike the modus-themes and the ef-themes, I try to remain in line with the out-of-the-box looks of Emacs, even though I personally dislike them. The purpose of the Standard themes is to provide the missing theme framework of that default aesthetic, so that users can enjoy the customisability and stylistic consistency it brings.

Guile-Emacs Relaunched
(emacsconf.org)
The Guile-Emacs project seeks to develop new foundations for Emacs to serve as the basis for the next forty years of development. It integrates Emacs and Guile by providing a new Elisp implementation based on Guile's Lisp-oriented compiler tower and runtime environment.
