I tried Elfeed2 immediately after the announcement, well, it's nowhere near the experience of elfeed in Emacs. Elfeed2 doesn't load content for most of my feeds, elfeed does. I also integrated elfeed-tube, which shows previews of videos and their transcripts, making it no-brainer to get a summary without watching the whole video.
My understanding of the context is the author is no longer using Emacs, and is very excited about the productivity from AI.
My experience with LLM technologies is it does make generating the code a really quick part. It may be reasonable to take much more time to specify things up front (rather than emergently as you would by hand). -- I mean, if you've got a well crafted description of what you want, you'll be able to get a working program MUCH quicker with an LLM, today, compared to writing it out by hand.
Would it really be surprising/shocking if an LLM was able to rewrite (most) features from an existing software, to a new software?
It seems like the reality today is, we've gone from a maintained software in a niche ecosystem with happy users, to a more fragmented one where everyone has an LLM write their own half-baked one.
Probably because it's closer to a reimplementation than anything else, and in Emacs you can use libraries with much less friction than in self-contained languages.
I keep weekly notes in my work Org Roam project, Week-N-of-2024.org, where I store all the current work. At the end of the week I carry on TODO/DOING/WAITING headings. Every heading usually references topical Org Roam notes, so checking backlinks I can trace the work progress.
To keep it public - I tag certain headings with :Priority: tag and then use Org-QL to find them, pretty-print (enrich with Story links , completion date), sort by priority, TODO state etc; then export to HTML and copy-paste into Confluence.
The trick is to balance between granularity of items. I definitely don’t want to make everything public, but I do want to have everything in my notes, and this method solved it - the best of all tried over 15 years.
On macOS try emacs-mac-port, it has many goodies comparing to emacsformacos.com:
- The only Emacs that works with window managers, I use Magnet.app to resize windows using shortcuts
- Integration with other macOS apps, like Tip.app[1], so selection (region) in Emacs is recognised by macOS and sent to Tip.app as stdin
From downsides, it won't compile with xwidgets support (webkit).
I used Echo for one of my projects few years ago. I don’t remember which version it was, but authors (Labstack) were releasing major versions like every year or so, after two migrations I found myself in need to migrate again. That project is in maintenance mode, so still uses old Echo, but if I ever need to migrate, that would be to Fiber.
