  • telescope.nvim

    Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time.

  • The only consideration that I have for neovim is a) its interesting plugins and UI design -- something like Telescope.nvim would not be possible in emacs -- and also b) its sheer speed. Evil is slow, if you care about latency. Nvim on terminal is blazing fast. But if you want any of Tramp, Org-mode, Magit, Dired, etc. that makes Emacs great, then Nvim is a tough sell.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • github-orgmode-tests

    This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

  • Then, there are other apps like Magit which let you execute Git commands with just a single key press, this makes managing your Git branches incredibly fast and easy when you get good at it. And there is Org mode for taking notes -- I have a pretty good notes database now which is easily searched with Grep. Emacs has an excellent Grep interface, it lets you easily navigate through the list of search results.

  • magit

    It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs.

  • emacs-for-vimmers

    Introduction Emacs config, for developers used to Vim.

  • Personally I prefer to build my own init file, in that case you could check out https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers and use it as a reference.

  • 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.
