  • org-bullets

    utf-8 bullets for org-mode

  • You probably want something like this:https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets

  • spacemacs

    A community-driven Emacs distribution - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim!

  • For Mac I’d propose https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs under the Mac OSX section. The direct link below. I personally use plus, but don’t think any of the choices there will be poor.

  • 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.

  • homebrew-emacsmacport

    Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager

  • I definitely recommend railway’s Emacs port for someone starting with Emacs on macOS. It will look great without any configuration and will behave like a macOS app. Once you'll get more comfortable with Emacs and decide to customise it you could pick a different version (like emacs-plus) but then it will be more clear than to you what features you need/care about.
