He does most of his computing from inside Emacs and works currently on an evolved lisp dialect. +# Discussion + +## Questions and answers + +- Q: Have you seen the Nyxt browser. It is the Emacs of Web browsers + and would probably be easier to work with as it matches a lot closer + to Emacs. I think you can tag browser tabs for example. + - A: Yes, but the author did not look into it yet. It could + probably be made to work as well. +- Q:Nice ideas. Needs a better name though to attract people to it. + What about browsys or webnote? + - A: Ideas for better naming are appreciated, but the suggestions + did not convince the author. +- Q: Can you use browser extensions with this, example ublock + sponserblock darkreader These are needed for browsing others peoples + web sites + - A: The presented software is a browser extension (plus elisp + code to interact with it), so it works in addition to other + already installed browser extensions. +- Q: Are there any inherent security issues with this (bi-directional + synchronization sounds like a possible issue) ? How are they solved? + Can a malicious website impact Emacs or the host system? + - A: The overall surface is limited, so there should be little a + website can do. One thing that helped with this is the web + extensions API being fine-grained in terms of things that can be + done with the browser. +- Q:When do you think you\'ll make a first release? I hate needing + browser extensions and would love to control my tabs in Emacs. + - A: The code is there, may be, in the next week, the presenter + would upload the code out there. + - I am not the presenter, but you can configure emacs to open + windows instead of tabs and control them with EXWMNeed + cross-window system support (GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows). +- Q: What happened to the Sway compositor you showed last year? I am + an EXWM user and need a Sway equivalent!!! Please !!! Is the code + available? + - A: +- Q: Does the browser have to be firefox for syncing or is there a + choice there? + - A: It should be possible to use this with other browsers due to + the web extensions API working for both Chromium and Firefox, + but it needs testing and Chromium may switch to an incompatible + API in the future. + +## Notes + +- It is too small, please zoom up \*4, for all the impaired, or normal + good old user of emacs\... +- The highlighting copying could be done with xclip or wl-clipboard if + you don\'t mind a dependency outside Emacs. + [[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/poltys-after)" raw="yes"]] |
