My packages and/or custom code for GNU Emacs
Dotemacs
My personal Emacs configuration. It is comprehensive, both in terms of the [custom] code it contains as well as the documentation on what each piece of functionality does.

Modus themes
Highly accessible themes, conforming with the highest standard for colour contrast between background and foreground values (WCAG AAA). They also are optimised for users with red-green colour deficiency.
The themes are very customisable and provide support for a very wide range of packages. Their manual is detailed so that new users can get started, while it also provides custom code for all sorts of more advanced customisations.
Since August 2020, the Modus themes (modus-operandi, modus-vivendi)
are built into Emacs version 28 or higher.

Minibuffer and Completions in Tandem (mct.el)
Enhancements for the default minibuffer completion UI of Emacs. In essence, MCT is (i) a very thin layer of interactivity on top of the out-of-the-box completion experience, and (ii) glue code that combines built-in functionalities to make the default completion framework work like that of more featureful third-party options.
Requires Emacs version 27 or higher.

LIN Is Noticeable
LIN locally remaps the hl-line face to a style that is optimal for
major modes where line selection is the primary mode of interaction.
The idea is that hl-line cannot work equally well for contexts with
competing priorities: (i) line selection, or (ii) simple line highlight.
In the former case, the current line needs to be made prominent because
it carries a specific meaning of some significance in the given context.
Whereas in the latter case, the primary mode of interaction does not
revolve around the line highlight itself: it may be because the focus is
on editing text or reading through the buffer’s contents, so the current
line highlight is more of a gentle reminder of the point’s location on
the vertical axis.
