Show HN: Emacs-Bootstrap
- cwisecarver 10y agoI can't get it to generate in either Chrome or Safari.
- cwisecarver 10y agoI went into the Safari console, selected the form element and ran $0.submit() and it worked...?
- vamsi360 10y agoAdblock seems to be blocking it by default - pause it, refresh and generate, then resume it
- quizotic 10y agoWow! I use emacs every day, and this will make my life easier. Didn't know about these wonderful packages. And the automatic init-file generation probably save me hours and headaches.
- gumby 10y agoCool. Considered adding Slime/SBCL?
- rakanalh 10y agohaa! i think i didn't know about those until now. But will check them out. Thanks!
- wcummings 10y agoI don't need this personally, but philosophically I prefer it to Spacemacs
- secstate 10y agoWould you mind elaborating on your philosophy against Spacemacs? I'm an avid user, but I'm totally open to arguments against it.
- wcummings 10y agoSpacemacs is almost a different editor built on top of Emacs, which is fine, that's what Emacs is for, but it deprives you of the magic of growing your own.
- secstate 10y agoThanks for the elaboration! That's what I suspected. Personally spacemacs makes me a much faster developer and I think blends the strengths of emacs and vim nicely.
- mark_l_watson 10y agoVery cool, thanks for doing this. A bit off topic, but here is my Emacs configuration advice: keep a Dropbox folder 'emacs' where your confit file and installed packages live. On numerous laptops my .emacs file is a one line load, and for Linux servers where I don't want to install Dropbox support, I just drop a copy of Dropbox/Emacs into my home directory. I thought of using a git repo, but for now this works fine.
- nerdwaller 10y agoI switched to using Dropbox instead of a repo because I would often forget to commit and push changes, it's been really refreshing. I've not tried their API, but it probably would be trivial to have a webhook that auto pulls changes to a git repo on file changes, for the best of both worlds.
- arrakeen 10y agoi wouldn't recommend keeping your elpa packages in dropbox if you sync between different operating systems. i've run into issues where auxiliary binaries were giving me trouble. instead, you can use use-package [0] and keep your configuration files in dropbox/syncthing. [0] one of emacs's killer libraries, imo. a brilliant package configuration system that i don't believe vimL could ever support: https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package
- wwalser 10y agoEMACS is my standard editor but I don't know what several of these things do. I'm open to my environment being improved but I'm not so into installing something when I don't know what it does. The site doesn't do much to explain what I'm installing or what it'll change about my current setup. I actually setup a new computer yesterday. I copied my .emacs file and used ELPA to install js2Mode. This minimal setup probably heavily influences my lack of trust in installing what appears to be three or four different things all stuck together. Note: http://emacs-bootstrap.com/#second http://emacs-bootstrap.com/#second, the init.el link leads to a 404.
- rakanalh 10y agoThank you for the feedback. I guess i should have documented the files better. But that's definitely on the list. I've fixed the link btw.
- wwalser 10y agoSorry I didn't say this before but: Thank you for creating this. Though I don't completely know what I'm looking at it may push me to learn more about my own setup and consider alternatives. Good stuff.
- vamsi360 10y agoGreat - thanks for this - simple organizing of the files as well. Can you add org mode and others as well?
- rakanalh 10y agoYup... should be on my list soon. Glad you like it :)
