3. [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]]: A mode for writing notes, blog posts ([[https://themkat.net/2024/10/22/how_i_blog_with_emacs.html][including this blog!]]) and more. Org Mode has a special plain text file format that supports the same functionality as other formats (including Markdown), but adds code block execution (like Jupyter Notebooks), agenda items for calendars and so on. Probably cheating to put it in this list, as it is included in Emacs. That being said, the version that is included is old, so downloading a newer version is recommended to get bug fixes and newer features. [[https://themkat.net/2021/09/13/recommended_emacs_packages.html][Briefly covered in my earlier article on recommended Emacs packages]].
4. [[https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/undo-tree.html][undo-tree]]: In most editors, you have a linear undo/redo-history. undo-tree gives you this history as a tree you can navigate instead! [[https://themkat.net/2021/09/13/recommended_emacs_packages.html][My earlier article on recommended Emacs packages have a screenshot and small description]].
5. [[https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs][centaur-tabs]]: Do you want Emacs to have tabs like your browser (or other editors like VS Code)? Then Centaur Tabs is what you are looking for! While there are several tab solutions for Emacs, this one is my favorite. [[https://themkat.net/2024/01/04/emacs_centaur_tabs.html][Written about in more detail in its own article]].
6. [[https://github.com/themkat/smilefjes.el][smilefjes.el]]: Live in Norway? Or visit Norway sometimes? Then you probably want to visit restaurants and take away places. How would you know which ones are clean and healthy to visit? The Norwegian Food Administration regularly do checkups, and have compiled a list. This list can be checked from the comfort or Emacs! The name is "smiley face" directly translated to English, and is my own creation :smile:

Alternative solutions are being considered at the moment.*
7. [[https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el][devdocs]]: Do you ever wish you could read documentation directly from inside of Emacs? Whether it be the Rust reference book, GLSL reference, React reference or something else? Well, you can! devdocs.el and other packages are covered in [[https://themkat.net/2024/10/27/docs_inside_emacs.html][an earlier article on reading documentation from inside of Emacs]].
8. [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Window-Convenience.html][Windmove]]: (probably cheating here, as this is built in). Are you a chronic =C-x o= user when switching between your buffer windows? So was I until I started using Windmove. Windmove gives you more fluid movement of windows where you can select the direction (as opposed to the previous keybinding which moves in a seemingly random order). It is covered in [[https://themkat.net/2024/10/14/emacs_tip_windmove.html][a separate article here on my blog]] if you want to read more about it.
9. [[https://magit.vc/][Magit]]: While git on the command line is easy enough, I really feel like Magit makes me even more productive. Instead of having to type out commands, you have shortcuts. You also get a nice status view where you can view diffs, select what to commit (even simplified commit of selected portion of files!), push and more. [[https://themkat.net/2021/09/13/recommended_emacs_packages.html][Magit was briefly covered in my earlier article on recommended Emacs packages]].
