@grinn @pmidden I have not encountered your boxy project before, but it looks very interesting. Perhaps you could upload a screenshot here to promote it.

Once upon a time, I had an #emacs package that would put example usage in the documentation output from `describe-function`.Anyone know what I'm referring to, because as great as helpful from @wilfredh is, it doesn't have that feature.See https://github.com/Wilfred/helpful

Thinking about extracting data from web service APIs, and how to use the jq program in #emacs.Turns out making a Lispy-version is easy, since most of jq is compensating for limitations with the command line and shell scripting.Check out the results ... https://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/query-data-structures.html

@ms It is sooo personal. Lots of us have show "how I use it", which might help you, but maybe not.What worked for me was just starting with a notes of a file per subject, and getting to know org. Then I made a file per project and started experimenting with tags, TODOs and agendas.When I found projects that needed a lot of files, I expanded those to directories ... so you see, since org is just text files, you are never locked in to anything particular. I've used woccur to change a thousand files when I felt the need, but usually, don't worry about it too much.(That said, perhaps we should all come together to write an org book where each person took over a chapter to cover stuff like this).

Wanting to develop a character backstory for a #ttrpg game, and thought that a Microscope-like #solorpg game might be in order. Does anyone have recommendations?

Dealing with a big file in #emacs, but have a wide physical screen? Split into multiple windows, and call `follow-mode`. The file will now flow as if you had multiple columns. Scrolling works just as you'd expect. Packages like avy-goto become really powerful.

Hey @pymander ... would be interested in hearing your perspective in comparing #clojurescript and #junolang.https://github.com/KinaKnowledge/juno-lang

Here is your cool #emacs trick of the day.You are probably using #avy, right? https://github.com/abo-abo/avyYou've bound one of the avy-goto- functions, right? You've probably read this article, right? https://karthinks.com/software/avy-can-do-anything/Try this. Open a Terminal in Emacs, and type a command that outputs some data other than a filename. Say `uuidgen`.Now type: `echo ` and then launch your avy-goto function of choice, and select the first letter or two of your UUID (in this example). Now type `y` and then the latter(s) in front of the UUID.Amazing. No need to use the mouse to select the text. No need to move the cursor around. THAT is the most compelling reason for running your terminals _inside_ your Emacs.

I've updated my ebb/flow functions in #emacs shell that I presented at last year's #EmacsConf, and wrote an essay describing it. Wondering if others would find out useful as a package...https://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/eshell-ebb-flow.html

Hey Emacsians ... I did a thing.I've made my configuration for Emacs, er... readable.https://howardabrams.com/hamacsWhile my goal was to break up the #emacs bling into, er... chapters, it will definitely put you to sleep if you curl up with it.Now when someone asks me how to do something, I can give them a link to a section on my website.nerd whoop.
