Also the random package mentions on our countdown screen was fun too. This year I've had less time to work on Emacs-y things (about half the time compared to last year's leadup to EmacsConf), but it's nice to see we can still pull it off! - transient discussion:\ - \ do you like to much hydra? Leo? - \ I love which-key. - \ Yeah, I think adding which-key to Emacs 30 was a great idea! - \ I wrote a transient to make it easy to access various Emacs help resources, and I don't know Elisp very well.     - \ Its amazing how in emacs people don't need to frequently migrate to the newer packages all the time. - \ at one point i experimented a bit with using transcient as an interface to run shell commands that I was trying to parse from the man pages, i still think this is an interesting discoverability into all the options that shell commands offer - \ inkpotmonkey: ffmpeg comes to mind - \ I use transient for my job, and that save my life. - \ I wrote a little package that combines transient and tabulated list mode to fetch issues from services as jira.  Transient is a nice package to quickly get an UI going. - \ eldoc-mode.\ - \ I also kinda just had a thought for discussion. Browser related thoughts and speculation - sachac: I've been using spookfox to control Firefox from Elisp, which has been handy for some automation (can both send stuff to and get stuff out of Firefox, I have some blog posts about it) - \ [https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh](https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh) - Discussion: Right now it exist as a bunch of hacks on top of sly  12:16:19  - \ re: qutebrowser \-- [https://github.com/lrustand/qutebrowser.el](https://github.com/lrustand/qutebrowser.el) - \ karthik: WOW! I am going to have to start using this immediately! Thank you! - \ I've been really meaning to try out Meow as a long-time Evil user 🙂 \ I've been experimenting with using emacs as a GUI toolkit for common lisp applications\ - \- \ fristed, ooo, does your experiment have a home/name? i've been wondering about using emacs as an interface for clim apps (partly as a step towards using clim in emacs, possibly), seems possible considering that their was a web-based interface in the 1990s - \ fristed: have you shared links about this? "emacs as a GUI toolkit for common lisp applications" - \ I would like to take a look - \ edrx, did you see my guile talk? you might be interested in the long-term future section :) - \ edrx: Currently I do not have any public items yet, but now I know that there is interest i'll look into it - \ If i have something working next year i'll consider having a emacsconf talk. It is inspired by CLOG, but using emacs instead of the browser - oooh, another possible topic for discussion: what's something you've recently started trying in Emacs? - \- \ I've been experimenting with using semgrep to review elisp for security issues  - \ It was really cool being able to jump in! 😊 - \ hey hey, I've been experimenting with ways to make packages very easy to try! link: [http://anggtwu.net/2024-find-tryit-links.html](http://anggtwu.net/2024-find-tryit-links.html)\ - \ to the person who was lounge-928 a few minutes ago: I found the slide in which I start to discuss choosing the right level of detail! See here: [http://anggtwu.net/emacsconf2024.html#16:06](http://anggtwu.net/emacsconf2024.html#16:06) - \ everyone should know of greader-mode.  it is amazing.  i use it all the time\ [[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/open-mic-after)" raw="yes"]] [[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/open-mic-nav)" raw="yes"]]
