2026-04-27 Emacs news ===================== There was a big discussion on lobste.rs about people's favourite Emacs packages https://lobste.rs/s/sz3gab/what_are_your_favorite_emacs_packages and that sparked similar conversations on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1stw78y/what_are_your_favorite_emacs_packages/ and HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47875031. Discussions like that are a great source of inspiration https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1ssfwpl/your_sources_for_inspiration/. I added a couple of small improvements to my config based on this week's Emacs news, like diff-hl https://www.emacs.dyerdwelling.family/emacs/20260421070329-emacs--getting-diff-hl-just-right/.
Also, lots of people expressed their appreciation for Chris Wellons https://nullprogram.com/blog/2026/04/26/, who is moving on to other editors for now. Me, I've enjoyed using https://melpa.org/#/simple-httpd, impatient, and skewer, and I'm glad Chris made and shared them. Many of his packages already have new maintainers, and the rest are up for adoption https://nullprogram.com/blog/2026/04/26/.

This is the plain-text version. There's also an HTML version that might be easier to read. Depending on your mail client, you might have a command, button, or link that can show you the HTML version. If you're in Emacs, look for something that mentions text/html. More info: https://sachachua.com/topic/emacs-news/
