Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)

1. notebook-mode

   1 9 667 5.8 Emacs Lisp

   GNU Emacs notebook mode

   

   I think the work Nicolas Rougier has done on "beautifying" Emacs (including org-mode) is about the best that's been done, examples and code:

3. org-modern

   2 23 1,933 7.2 Emacs Lisp

   :unicorn: Modern Org Style

   

4. elegant-emacs

   3 16 1,447 0.0 Emacs Lisp

   A very minimal but elegant emacs (I think)

   

   Indeed!

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

5. pandoc

   4 468 45,879 9.8 Haskell

   Universal markup converter

   

   My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

   I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

7. start-emacs

   6 1 15 5.1 Emacs Lisp

   A single-file starting point for your Emacs configuration

   

   Emacs 29 made getting started a lot easier IMO, my from-scratch configuration is pretty minimal and I use it everyday. To plug my own project, I built a "kickstart" equivalent (https://github.com/mgmarlow/start-emacs) that sets up some recommended defaults and packages with lots of comments so you can easily extend it.
