emacs-dashboard VS nano-sidebar

https://github.com/emacs-dashboard/emacs-dashboard ?

Niagara takes a configuration file that specifies what the user wants to happen, and then deploys it! I will show an example configuration, and how to use it below. json { "packages": [ "feh", "doas", "picom" ], "config": [ { "option": "wallpaper", "val": "https://github.com/emacs-dashboard/emacs-dashboard/raw/master/banners/emacs.png" }, { "option": "dotfile", "val": [ "https://github.com/kavulox/nvim", "https://github.com/kavulox/picom" ] } ] }

When I'm opening Emacs, I normally want it to display my dashboard. But if I'm opening a file, I just want it to jump straight to the file and not waste time showing the dashboard.

This would be similar to what ace-link does, except that ace-link doesn't work with dashboard, and it uses Avy style keys for selection instead of numbers.

This feature is largely inspired by dashboard, but is implemented differently. Please make a bug report if you encounter any unexpected behaviours.

I got bored by my previous theme and I wanted something new, so I went ahead and made my first theme. It’s based on my current Emacs configuration (you can find a screenshot at the beginning of the page) and especially on the aesthetics of the dashboard package, the Doom Nord theme as well as the Doom modeline.

A good dashboard

You can use treemacs or maybe something like nano-sidebar. Ultimately if you want to look at someone who is working to make emacs look more modern, check out the author of nano-sidebar and their other packages.

Code is available at https://github.com/rougier/nano-sidebar. I only tested it on OSX and I don't know if it works on other systems.
