Medicated Emacs, Work-Ready Vanilla Emacs
Medicated Emacs polishes the vanilla Emacs experience with minimal packages. Everything uses standard Emacs patterns and conventions. No frameworks, wrappers, or special systems to learn. If you know how to customize vanilla Emacs, you know how to customize this config. What you get: - Modern completion (Vertico + Orderless + Marginalia) - LSP support via Eglot (built-in) - Git integration (Magit + diff-hl) - Quality-of-life improvements (better defaults, recent files, etc.) - Common language modes pre-installed What you don't get: - Custom keybinding schemes - Framework abstractions -…

Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum.
