#Experiments with Emacs Welcome Screens

This repo contains some simple experimental welcome screen designs for GNU Emacs.

  • welcome.el: An enhanced version the usual Emacs startup screen.
  • org-welcome.el: A welcome screen formatted in org-mode.

The goals of both are to provide some additional features and usability improvements without depending on any external packages. Both are standalone packages that can be installed separately.

#welcome.el

Similar to default welcome screen with some additional features:

  • Show list of recently viewed files (using recentf).

#org-welcome.el

The idea is to create a consistent user experience for individuals who are primarily using Emacs for org-mode. In my opinion org-mode is one of the best reasons to use Emacs so this welcome screen tries to reflect that.
