Entered: in emacs on Gemini PDA | Date: 20230115
My neovim setup is nice. Nicer than my vim setup has ever been over the last 25 years. However, emacs is a beast I have found I enjoy. When I reinstalled Android on the Gemini PDA for power option functionality, having my current emacs config from my GPD Pocket be completely broken on the GPDA was a big letdown.
So, I started over on my emacs config. It is still a work in progress. I may end up starting again before I am happy. The issue currently is bloat, slow load times. Really, this is not much of an issue because I just close the lid and leave emacs running in tmux in termux. It does bug me though.
Maybe instead of starting again from scratch, I'll prune and tweak. When it comes to Emacs Lisp (and lisp in general), I am below novice level (a copy-and-paster, with the ability to make common sense changes), so there are likely a whole lot of things I am doing inefficiently or straight up incorrectly in my init.el. I have watched a lot of YouTube videos on emacs over the past few years, but almost all of them are geared towards professional programmers setting up emacs as an IDE or a lisp environment.
I use emacs mainly for org mode and writing this phlog. Org agenda plus Orgzly on Android brings my work schedule to my personal phone. I also export my agenda to an ICS to share with my wife.
