Nyan Mode.

https://github.com/TeMPOraL/nyan-mode

I made it as a simple joke, but for some reason it rapidly gained popularity among Emacs users, and now I sometimes find it or hear about it in unexpected places.

(Also I fear that on my deathbed I'll look back and realize that the most used thing I've ever made in my life was an animated cat for a text editor... sigh)

I have been using this for years and all my work colleagues always ask me "what is that nyan cat on your text editor? that must be super annoying!" and I always have to tell them I just really like it.

Thank you for building this, it's awesome!

Same! But sadly when I switched to Spacemacs I haven't set it up again.

Scroll down for nyan mode, if you don't mind using an external package. :)

Use the colors layer and enable the Nyan cat option. ;)

Found it through Spacemacs. Totally love it. Even if it were to be your most used creation, it totally deserves it.
