    Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man! (by abo-abo)

  • When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

  • zettel2

    Emacs helpers for note organizing

  • org-roam / denote -> my own stripped down clone

  • consult-notes

    Use consult to search notes

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    An elisp package manager

  • I have a branch which implements a custom use-package keyword, but in practice the wrapping macro works better. The main issue is that the use-package macro will be expanded priror to it being modified. e.g.
