Well, I gave #use-package an honest shot. I rewrote my #emacs config using it, 5000 lines of #Org file.
It all works. Cleaned up a lot of things, replaced old ways with new ways. I now know definitively that I do not like use-package. It adds unnecessary complexity with very little benefit. It doesn't actually load any faster than my old way, in fact it seems to be slower, doing less, from start up to prompt.

:bind, :hook, :custom, and :ensure are cool. But not that cool.

I don't hate it, I can see if all you want is to load a package, bind a key, set a custom var and add a mode hook it could be handy. I won't be doing that.
Today, I'm ripping it out.

People of Emacs and Org Mode:
Are there any packages to manage a project? I have projectile, but that's more for coding. I mean like a house move or fence build kinda project: something that has multiple todos and will take a protracted amount of time.

Failing any specific package for that, what about a org template for said project?

Set up some niceties to make my #org writing experience a little prettier.

I'd been a JetBrains Mono everywhere person for some time. Trying 'Overpass' font for org documents in Writeroom mode, adjusted sizes for headings etc. - Feels fancy..

What fonts do you like? any other tips?

I had a moment of inspiration and created #ggg take a look (still #experimental #foss software)

ggg: #guile #scheme #glyph #generator

codeberg.org/jjba23/ggg

Through #svg generation from #lisp we leverage a (wip) #dsl and apply some #math knowledge to build pixel perfect project #markdown / #org badges.

It also scripts #imagemagick to export to #png or #webp .

You can then use the svgs in your #codeberg (or #github) repository #readme for example.

I provide a #guix manifest in the repo
