# Emacs with Nyxt: extend your editor with the power of a Lisp browser

In 2021 browsers are essential if you use a computer. Even if Emacs
users love text as a format, they may need to shop and video call from
time to time (even more so in a pandemic!). Some of us modified their
browsers to at least have the same keybindings as our editor of
choice. What if I told you there is an Emacsy browser in the making?
What if you could "ace-jump" within a web page? What if you could run
a REPL to extend your browser while browsing? What if you could record
macros?! The browser exists: its name is Nyxt!

In this talk I will share why it has great potential, how you can
integrate it with Emacs, and how you can migrate your Emacs mastery to
the web!

If you were wishing for a Lispy and Emacsy browser, you should not
miss this talk!

# Discussion

IRC nick: `andrea

- I thought I read somewhere that this browser was attempting to allow extensions in a similar manner to Chrome/Firefox extensions. It'd be nice to have a central location to grab those, install them etc.
- does nyxt also have an inspector, to edit html and css?
  - `andrea: yes, I am just sending my JS to the inspector via Common Lisp
- loving the youtube note taking with the timestamp
- If you've been following Nyxt for a while, one of the core design goals is to push web browsing back towards its original conception of intertwingling readership and authorship.
- you have some amazing elisp skills and ideas
- Back when I was using Nyxt I had it tied to stumpwm and I puppeteered them both from emacs with sly.
- I wonder how hard it would be to integrate or compile JS extension to a form available to Nyxt
- `andrea: I need to ask about LibreJS: they have a discourse https://discourse.atlas.engineer/

# Outline

-   5-10 minutes: quick demo of running Nyxt from Emacs and a little explanation of the code necessary for integration
<!-- -   20 minutes: same as above plus some time to share Nyxt other capabilities and showing a workflow where you can go full circle: Emacs, Nyxt, Emacs -->
