If you're interested in learning how to use and configure Emacs from the ground up, check out the Emacs From Scratch series I started about a month ago. We make new episodes live on YouTube every Friday! youtube.com/watch?v=74zOY-vg…

I used vanilla emacs when I started with it 15 years ago. Then I announced init.el bankruptcy and used Spacemacs for a long time. The time has come to go back to vanilla though! I am following awesome @SystemCrafters videos and I think I will make it through this time :D

To Emacs users who haven't become comfortable with Emacs Lisp yet: How much would your Emacs experience improve if you knew how to write Emacs Lisp code at an intermediate level? Do you have something specific in mind that you'd do with it? Feel free to reply via DM! #emacs

Today I finished the Emacs from Scratch series. Thanks @SystemCrafters for this whole series, without it my setup wouldn't be so good and I wouldn't have enough to understand and solve things.

As I mentioned on the stream yesterday, there is a growing Mastodon community for Emacs at the emacs.ch instance! If you're interested in trying out Mastodon as a Twitter alternative, you'll have a great time there.

I have an existing account on the Fosstodon instance but you can still follow me with an Emacs instance account! x.com/daviwil/status/1593899…

If I were to give a talk about Emacs at NeovimConf, what do you think it should be about? Serious suggestions only, this is not a joke :) neovimconf.live/

Got tired of writing queries for #emacs mu4e using strings. It's uncouth and un-lisp-like. Thus, mu4e-query, that lets you write queries using s-expressions: github.com/mickeynp/mu4e-que… Keen on feedback.

Impressive, @SystemCrafters has videos for a ton of the technologies I strongly recommend and they seem well produced: Guix, Emacs, org-mode, etc. I'm glad someone's out there doing that! These are great! Here's one: 5 Reasons to Try Guix in 2022: youtube.com/watch?v=7ZdMRLPZ…

Note-taking habits actually useful for #writing? I have found the Zettelkasten method invaluable, along with #emacs #orgroam; here are the resources that helped me along the way:
