olivetti VS elegant-emacs

I also use writeroom because I prefer its simplicity, but worth mentioning that olivetti is the more popular writing mode.

There are nice looking distraction-free setups with https://github.com/joostkremers/writeroom-mode or https://github.com/rnkn/olivetti or https://github.com/joaotavora/darkroom or https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs

For batteries-included packages that give you dedicated prose-writing modes, see also olivetti and writeroom-mode.

You could use olivetti-mode or Writeroom mode.

Another option is the Olivetti package. https://github.com/rnkn/olivetti

Don't have a specific tutorial except to suggest setting org-mode to use olivetti and a nice variable pitch font for writing prose. You might also like the poet theme.

If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.

Indeed!

I remember liking "elegance" at the time[0] by the same author.

I’m flattered by the attention—and I hope this ends up being genuinely useful for some people—but I would be remiss to not emphasize the tremendous work done by Nicolas P. Rougier on elegant-emacs.

Hi all, I've been working on bespoke-themes, which started out as a fork of Nicolas Rougier’s amazing work on elegant-emacs and nano-emacs. It sports a similar vibe, though some of the base colors are different and it is slightly less minimal and "opinionated" than nano-emacs. It also has the benefit of being (I hope) easily incorporated into one's existing emacs as a theme, rather than the more "distro" style of nano-emacs (which is a great project, but maybe not for everyone). I'm hoping to submit it to MELPA before too long. Long story short though, I'm looking for advice on the following:

`git pull https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs.git`, which will create a folder called elegant-emacs with the contents of the git directory wherever you call it.
