  A community driven list of useful Emacs packages, libraries and other items.

  

For packages, Checking what people in the community commonly use, such as in https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs/ or checking packages for review in Doom Emacs helps a lot in selection. There are also great guides, such as Kristoffer Balintona's https://kristofferbalintona.me/categories/guides/. Personally, my bias in selecting packagges is towards the ones that integrate well with built-in Emacs functionalities. I could provide you a list if you want.
