Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
isearch-mb: A subtle modification to isearch (C-s and friends) giving it a more “normal” feel by today's standards. Basically, allows you to edit the search string while searching. Similar to ctrlf, but less invasive of a change, and arguably more robust.

C-s and C-r with counters
See if ctrlf is to your liking. It seems to have this feature, among others.

Disable ivy (swiper) from binding C-n C-p?
Consider using raxod502/ctrlf instead if you won't use anything else ivy/swiper offer.

Buffer made up from grep results ("gather/scatter") ?
Have a look at CTRLF. When you hit "C-s" for ctrlf-forward-default (i-search). Now type what you're searching for. Then you can do "M-s o". That will open a Occur buffer with the existing search input. Not sure that you can edit in that buffer tho.

emacs.git: New user options to move between isearch matches
CtrlF and Isearch MB also have this behavior.

How much time you need to spent with Emacs to become more productive?
I viewed Prot's video back in January on Embark, Consult, and Orderless; I found them interesting, but not really fitting into my workflow and of course, not a reason to replace Swiper. But I was not thinking about how the packages were working--something you've looked into. Reading the Selectrum page about comparisons, I think I might like CtrlF a bit better than Swiper, though I've yet to try it.

Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
jit-spell: Alternative to Flyspell which operates asynchronously and checks the entire screen (not just words you just typed). Similar to u/minad's jinx (which is in fact a fork of jit-spell); jinx runs the spell-checker synchronously inside Emacs via a C module, while jit-spell uses an asynchronous subprocess.

New package: Auto-Olivetti—automatically turn on olivetti-mode when the window gets wide
Another recent example is my Jinx package, where people suggested that I should rather put the functionality into Ispell or Flyspell. Neither are good places to put the Jinx functionality as a mode. Obviously Jinx is a large enough and self-contained package providing a well-defined feature set. Furthermore its mode of operation is entirely different from both Ispell and Flyspell, so putting it there wouldn't result in much code reuse. It would look more like two packages cramped into one. Sometimes clean alternative implementations are justified.

Is GNU Aspell the best spell checker for emacs on macOS?
Thank you! I tried to get it working, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with MacOS. https://github.com/minad/jinx/issues/82

Emacs-written novel on the German bestseller list
One thing that had improved recently for writing is the appearance of several new spell-checking packages, the most recent and popular one being jinx. Grammar/style checking is still sub-optimal. Not sure if authors rely on such tools or that your Grammar knowledge is such that you don't need it and for really proof-reading you have an editor anyway.

Good Emacs Packages
Jinx is the new kid on the block for spell-checking, and it is the best!

flyspell with hunspell and multiple dictionaries
I can't help you specifically, but have you looked at Jinx by the formidable Daniel Mendler? Jinx lets you use multiple spell-checking backends (hunspell included) with multiple dictionaries—even in the same file. So, for example, I have used German and English dictionaries simultaneously to edit a mixed-language file.

Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.
