    Discontinued An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]

  • Really hope to see Emacs get more attention after `native-comp` branch merged to master.

    Recently, I have switched to Emacs full-time (first spacemacs[0], now doom[1]). So far, it has been a great experience. Spacemacs is a bit slow but with doom and `native-comp`, I rarely encounter any performance issues.

  • build-emacs-for-macos

    Somewhat hacky script to automate building of Emac.app on macOS.

  • I tried this on macOS a few months ago and it was pretty rocky just getting the thing compiled. I tried again last night and it pretty much Just Worked(tm) thanks to this[1] project.

    I did run into some problems with some newer packages on the GNU ELPA. (Specifically consult, marginalia, and vertico by github.com/minad) Straight.el complained about not being able to find the packages. Any suggestions on what I might try to fix this?
