Poltys - a periodic orb weaver - is an interactive interface to the current browser session that lives inside an Emacs buffer. It forms a [narrow waist](https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/03/backlog-arch.html) between the browser & Emacs; bringing Emacs text editing to tab management. This makes it one more thing ready to be used in your favorite Emacs workflow. During the talk I will explain what poltys does, how it can be used in different workflows and how it is made. The first half of the talk is show and tell, while the second half goes into the technical details. This talk is for you if you like neat text interfaces, already live mostly inside Emacs, or just want to have a look at what Emacs - the universal shell - is among many other things capable of. About the speaker: Michael Bauer is from Germany. He does most of his computing from inside Emacs and works currently on an evolved lisp dialect.
