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! You can learn more about this at: # 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 [[!inline pages="internal(2021/captions/nyxt)" raw="yes"]] [[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/nyxt-nav)" raw="yes"]]
