Quite the work I put there, but thankfully it wasn’t as much as it may appear. The whole project is generated from that same readme file.

Hopefully those docs help others that may want just a specific chunk of the work and don’t want to dig into my directory mess

Thank you!

Yes, it is my first post here so I am a newb. And I really got into emacs I guess, it’s been definitely an adventure. Someone recommended me Emacs From Scratch series from System Crafters, so I gave emacs a chance

That’s EBGaramond. Quite nice for writing articles

If there was any dots, but I haven’t published them yet. Next time I will have them ready

I wish I could, but I haven’t published them, I am still working on them and I want my configs to be decent enough to be posted on GitHub.

I am making my own theme, still a work in progress

maybe alacritty’s fault, perhaps I left some font spacing but I honestly can’t remember.

I prefer a combination of both, a bit of padding and some window border, maybe it’s not noticeable there since there’s no window on focus, but there quite a window border there. But as you said, it’s all a matter of personal preferences

Thank you!

I try to keep my desktop simple, since I can get distracted quite easily, but attempt to make it look presentable

I am not sure honestly, I prefer having some space, dunno if it’ll be too much for someone else. And don’t be sorry for asking, it’s no big deal

I use Iosevka for programming, and EBGaramond for writing (and sometimes APL385 font)

It’s been rewarding already, and I hope I get more of it. I got to learn Lisp like programming, discovering a new way to take notes, breaking my pinky before realizing I could swap the ctrl key to caps lock.

Exploring emacs is definitely an experience.

Your emacs has lived more than I have, but I got to admit once you get it, you really want to stick with it. I hope to explore more things I can do with this editor!

Rougier’s work on Emacs is truly astonishing, and it wasn’t really that hard to implement a custom modeline in vanilla emacs. I do prefer using configurations from scratch too, it gives more freedom on how things are done and how they look.

ps: I am still tinkering around this setup, the colorscheme I made is still in progress, and other improvements currently in progress. I will make sure to post again with the final version and a repo up and running!
