Power-mode in Spacemacs

I just found the Power Mode for Emacs. If you want to try it out in Spacemacs you can make sure that your ~/.spacemacs contains the following

dotspacemacs-additional-packages
'(
  ...
  (power-mode :location (recipe
                         :fetcher github
                         :repo "elizagamedev/power-mode.el"))
  )

After a restart Power Mode can be turned on using SPC SPC power-mode.

Unfortunately I found that it slows down rendering so badly that Emacs isn't keeping up with my typing. Even though I removed it right away again it was fun to try it out, and I did learn how to add package to Spacemacs that aren't on MELPA.

A useful resource is this reference on the recipe format.
