Emacs Configuration Generator

This looks like it solves a very real pain point for anyone getting started with Emacs, and likely many people who have been using Emacs for a long time sub-optimally. Could save…

I like it. I installed Doom Emacs a few weeks back but had to give it up. I personally don’t like to bring in a huge config set in the beginning. I like this idea and will try to…

This is really cool - the generated config turned out shorter than just my .spacemacs config file which makes it feel accessible. I like it.

Neat. I like the fact that it is opinionated providing a decent setup to get things done. Here are some of the things i was confused about, or thought could be improved. 1. The…

Very neat tool. Ive been getting more and more into using emacs. I like the options you provide like disabling the tool bar, line numbers etc. these are quality of life changes…

The customize interface built into Emacs already provides this. Though it supports customizing far more things, so it might be overwhelming. Maybe a new user customization group…

I'm not getting why you wouldn't just use Emacs's customize to do the job?

Hello, I think you have a bug disabling the splash screen: https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L372 According to the internet (I don't use emacs) it's supposed…

This looks interesting but would be much better if it just went with use-package across the board. You also have not enabled many of the modes that you install which will be a…

I gave it a shot and several things were broken. It's a nice idea, but definitely needs more polishing.

As there are currently no Javascript dependencies, it is possible to use the site using EWW: M-x eww https://emacs.amodernist.com/ RET. That being said, the screenshots get in…

Interesting, but you know what might even be better? If it could be done directly from emacs. E.g. if you start with a brand new emacs then you could paste a line into scratch,…

Argh! Of course something cool like this gets shared on the day I'm super busy. Can't wait to mess with this. For extra nerd cred, output a .org file that can use babel to…

Something like this built directly into emacs that launches when people run it for the first time with no config (and no file opened) would be great.

This looks interesting but would be much better if it just went with use-package across the board. You also have not enabled many of the modes that you install which will be a…

Neat tool. I tried generating a config similar to mine, and it was surprisingly close, although it looks quite different without use-package. Did you not add use-package because…

Looks pretty good, I'll give it a spin soon as I'm trying to migrate from Doom to a vanilla config. One thing's that seems to be missing is that option to disable those pesky…

this is definitely a useful tool, thank you for putting the work into it! from the evil camp, it works be really useful if it also included an option to generate doom/spacemacs…

I'm not getting why you wouldn't just use Emacs's customize to do the job?

Quick question; I was a little confused by the fact that after asking for LSP support, and answering affirmatively, I went through a list of programming language modes to…

The Emacs built-in “Customize” tool is very close to that, and there’s also the built-in package manager. I guess this kind of generator could be implemented inside Emacs itself…

The customize interface built into Emacs already provides this. Though it supports customizing far more things, so it might be overwhelming. Maybe a new user customization group…

I discovered this project recently via some random HN post, and I've been contemplating using it to start over with my very chaotic Emacs configuration.…

This is really cool. I'd recommend it for people who are into customization but want a solid foundation to start. For people who are looking for a more batteries included…

Used to maintain my emacs.d in github. These days, I just use spacemacs because I'm getting lazy.

Cool tool! Would be interesting to integrate it straight to Emacs itself. But I think it is cool to be able to copy and paste it to one's own init.el…
