jointhefreeworld

jointhefreeworld is a personal site built around one developer’s ongoing work with Emacs and adjacent tooling. Rather than publishing general tutorials, it records the process of turning a working configuration into one that feels comfortable, with each article following a single problem from annoyance to resolution.

The Emacs folding article is representative: it surveys how Tree-sitter modes, Hideshow, Outline, Org, and Vdiff each handle folding differently, then introduces kirigami as a dispatch layer that forwards commands to whichever engine is active in the buffer. The result is one keybinding set and consistent behavior across languages and modes.

Content is aimed at experienced Emacs users comfortable building from source and editing their own config. Beginners may find the pace steep, since posts assume familiarity with modes, buffers, and package management. Readers who prefer reproducible recipes over narrative should treat these as field notes to adapt rather than copy.

A practical approach is to read the folding piece alongside your own config and test kirigami in a scratch buffer before committing changes. The site also links to a tech radar, docs, and a code of conduct, suggesting a broader personal knowledge base beyond Emacs alone.
