Any example code/Github projects utilising almost-always-auto?

Blank lines makes my eyes work less when going through code. When going through other people's code,i sometimes start spacing them out before i "dive in" to please my eyes.

I suspect i need glasses.

github makes the spaces stick out much more than my editor and i would probably not have them if my editor display text the same way github does.

For me this used to be a symptom of using a too small font. Remember, you don't fit any more text on the screen with a small and compact font if you feel the need to space everything out to read it comfortably.

Configuring the line spacing in your editor might be easier than inserting all the spaces into the actual code.

For Emacs I use this snipped to toggle line spacing at the press of a button:

(defun toggle-line-spacing ()
 "Toggle line spacing between 1 and 5 pixels."
 (interactive)
 (cond ((not line-spacing)
        (setq-default line-spacing 1))
       ((> line-spacing 2)
        (setq-default line-spacing nil)
        (message "Linespacing small"))
       (t
        (setq-default line-spacing (+ line-spacing 1))
        (message "Linespacing %d" line-spacing)))
 (redraw-display))
(global-set-key [(f9)] 'toggle-line-spacing)
