@nixfreak nano-emacs is a wildly different experience from Doom. Minimalist aesthetic, no additional libs needed, close to baseline Emacs functionality.
What I’ve done with it — well. It’s a learning experiment.

@nixfreak If you’re curious, the core config for this nano-based setup is presented on my site. Updating roughly daily, as I apply changes.

@nixfreak If I didn’t have the org mode layer to give me kind of a narrative context, I doubt I’d still be fiddling with this.
But yeah actually nano-emacs is a nice refined vanilla experience. French vanilla, not the nasty plain store brand stuff.

@nixfreak Joplin’s a great choice! I’ve been having some sync issues so had to look elsewhere, bumped against nano-emacs screenshot, remembered Org mode, and that’s where I am today. For now.
also ADD yes why do you ask

@nixfreak Not in this config yet. Still going through some Org tutorials that focus on vanilla bindings.
Probably eventually though. One thing at a time. Or no more than half a dozen things at a time, anyways.

@nixfreak that was intended as self-referential humor complementing your own admission but I typed too fast.

@nixfreak Doom Emacs has some great evil bindings in place for Org, though again there are so many of them that the mode help is overwhelming.
Probably won’t be spending as much time in Doom while I’m figuring out this config workflow, but just as likely I’ll steal their bindings when it’s time for evil.

@nixfreak VS Code / Codium is its own entire world for sure. With the right plugins it’s downright useful!
(I always make sure to at least have Bookmarks, Dendron, and Gitlens installed when sitting in front of Code / Codium)

@nixfreak @thegibson Oooooh A SHINY THING
I heard about Light Table way way back but hadn’t kept up with it. This looks pretty interesting!
hackers.town: 2022-02-21 Mon 11:59
@nixfreak That’s why Dendron is there. Really interesting Personal Knowledge Management system, dangerously customizable, kind of arcane once you get past basic journaling.

Using Emacs to work on something besides configuring Emacs.
Truly the dawn of a new era.

Well the M1 is pretty zippy but it certainly doesn’t seem to apply system updates much quicker.
hackers.town: 2022-02-21 Mon 23:02
But the Emacs fiddling I’ve been doing the last few days works unmodified on the Mac so I’ve got that going for me — which is nice.
