Funny you should ask. I think this link to Emacs buttons came up on Reddit in the comments in response to a post about Vim buttons. IDK what the original is, but here are some: https://www.vim.org/buttons.php

> I do not understand what "hate to be that guy" means.
There’s usually a guy that brings up something that’s off-topic and only tangentially related to what’s being discussed, causing many people to roll their eyes.
And the thing “that guy” brings up is often something he doesn’t quite understand and why it might be annoying and derail a good conversation/thread.

One fun use of emacs even if it isn't your main editor is to use M-x describe-char to see what a character is. Can detect and describe obscure unicode, emoji, math symbols, zero width spaces, right to left text symbols, etc. I often use it if some text looks a bit off and I suspect something is hiding in it, or if someone posts an emoji in IRC and I can't tell what it's supposed to be (in part due to small size). There is also M-x insert-char to search up a character by name and then write it.
I learned of this by watching a Xah Lee stream once where he used it. There is a similar thing with the vim-characterize plugin, but I like that the emacs way is built-in and works everywhere.
Modern raster -> vector using ML techniques isn't horrible. I'm on a bus, on a phone, traveling abroad so sorry for not getting into more detail but look into it. The manual fixing is pretty minimal and tolerable these days.
This is like, within the past 2 years it's gotten decent

I dearly miss the days back before software programs had consistent branding.
On this page, I see a hundred different buttons, but rendered with a hundred different typefaces, a hundred different color schemes, a hundred different arrangements, all according to whatever the designer thought looked attractive to them at the time.
These days, the fact that most programs include some sort of graphical branding means these knick-knacks are a lot more homogeneous. Which isn't a bad thing, I just miss the old days :)

That’s what being “that guy” means.
I'm +1 to add a made with Doom Emacs button to my site :D
ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons
Where's "running on..."? "Served by"? :)
