• straight.el

  70 2,646 5.5 Emacs Lisp

  🍀 Next-generation, purely functional package manager for the Emacs hacker.

  

Here is a github page for an Emacs package manager: https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el

It's a good page because it contains comparisons too all other emacs package managers[0], and carefully describes the pros and cons of each package manager. I wish more open source projects would do this.

• holo-build

  3 45 0.0 Go

  Cross-distribution system package compiler

  

If I may toot my own horn: The thing that grinds my gears the most about software project websites is when they don't clearly say what the thing does, and who this is for. That's why the website for my configuration management tool (https://holocm.org) has two sections, "This is for you if..." and even more importantly "This is NOT for you if..."
