+# Practicalli Open Source Projects
+
+Projects created and maintained by Practicalli, along with contributions to other Open Source Software projects.
+
+
+!!! WARNING "Work in progress"
+
+
+## Project Templates
+
+A series of production ready project templates for use with seancorfiled/deps-new.
+
+
+## Clojure CLI Config
+
+Extensive set of aliases to extend the functionality of the Clojure CLI using Community libraries and tools.
+
+
+## Neovim
+
+Practicalli Neovim online book providing a guide to Neovim use, vim-style editing, source management and Clojure REPL workflow.
+
+
+### Astro 5
+
+A Lua configuration for Neovim with a rich set of features and support for the complete Clojure Workflow.
+
+
+### Other.nvim
+
+Added Clojure support with help from Dominic Monroe.
+
+
+### Astro
+
+Neovim configuration with Clojure workflow support.
+
+
+### Astrocommunity
+
+Clojure file runner (conjure) specification.
+
+Clojure pack specication with treesitter & lsp support, nvim-treesitter-sexp (replaced after Neovim 0.11.0 released with parpar-nvim)
+
+Other.nvim specification
+
+parinfer-nvim specification
+
+paredit-nvim specification
+
+nvim-treesitter-sexp specification
+
+
+
+### nvim-config-fennel
+
+My initial use of Neovim was to write my own configuration, for which I chose the Fennel language as it was similar to Clojure and the author of Conjure had used Fennel to write it, using Aniseed plugin to make it easier.
+
+The Conjure author updated the approach to using Fennel by creating nfnl which generated lua files from fennel.  I chose not to re-write my config using nfnl as I had found AstroNvim provided far more features with a lot less effort and maintenance.
+
+
+## Emacs
+
+Emacs has several well-known community build configurations.  Spacemacs is the most used and has the most GitHub stars by a large margin.  Doom Emacs is popular when a very lean experience is preferred or heavy customisation.
+
+As an avid Emacs user when learning the Clojure programming language I wrote a comprehensive book on Software Development with Spacemacs, including a detailed section on Clojure REPL driven development.

+
+
+### Spacemacs
+
+Spacemacs is a community driven configuration for Emacs with a focus on consitent and discoverable use of all the Emacs features.
+
+[Contributed 35 pull requests](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+author%3Apracticalli-johnny){target=_blank} to the Spacemacs project and defined many of the Clojure key bindings.  Also updated the documentation around the use of Magit Forge and Git identity.
+
+Spacemacs remains the go-to configuration for Practicalli as its is so easy to use.
