A shameless extraction of Spacemacs’ startup screen.

1. Displays an awesome Emacs banner!
2. Recent files
3. Bookmarks list
4. Recent projectile projects list

You will need the following packages which are all available on Melpa:

1. page-break-lines - https://github.com/purcell/page-break-lines
2. projectile - https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile

This package is not yet available on Melpa, so until then:

git clone https://github.com/rakanalh/emacs-dashboard ~/.emacs.d/dashboard

(add-to-list 'load-path (concat user-emacs-directory "/dashboard/"))

;; And either one of:
(require 'dashboard)
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
;; - OR -
(use-package dashboard
  :config
  (dashboard-setup-startup-hook))

You can use any of the following shortcuts inside Dashboard

1. Center content
2. Integrate Org-mode’s agenda
3. Listing Perspectives
4. More banner options
5. Customizing the list of widgets to display

Contributions are very welcome :)
