Why don't you use markdown and convert it using pandoc or something. HTML files aren't really readable as notes.

My brain just automatically ignores the paragraph with the bold letters. I'm having to force myself to focus on reading it. Does anyone else experience the same?

Re:Ask HN: Should I learn Emacs in 2022? on Thursday March 17, 2022 @06:57AM (#30709705)
I'm also guilty of this haha. I spent a huge amount of time setting up a tiling window manager, basically recreating every feature XFCE has by default. Now I realize that what I needed was just tmux.

Ask HN: Should I learn Emacs in 2022?

Posted by snjy7 on Thursday March 17, 2022 @06:18AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've learnt vim and have a good setup for programming already. I started learning/using emacs recently enticed by all the features I hear about. I think I'll need to spend some time with it to utilize it efficiently.Is learning emacs worth it? I see hardcore emacs users complaining about how bad e-lisp is and macros causing RSI.

Re:Arch Linux turned 20 years old today. It was released on 11/March/2002 on Friday March 11, 2022 @11:16AM (#30641715)
Exactly my thoughts! I installed Arch a while back but it was taking too long to boot up (I use a pretty ancient laptop). So I went back to good ol' Debian.

I get your point. But, there is a lot of middle ground. Example: This site https://kinduff.com has a good colorscheme while being minimal.
