This is a great example of a generational shift in what UX/User Experience/Interface means. A person who's grown up with GUIs and post Web 2.0 interfaces wants to see your screenshots when you talk about UX. Most emacs users want to see the key mappings or talk about magit-style interfaces vs fuzzy tab-completion algorithms. I don't want to see a screenshot. I want to see a heat map on the keys my left pinkie is responsible for.

I'd say, keymaps + GIFs are nice. For example, I may have never have tried magit or swiper[1] in its early days, if I had not seen someone use it. Keymaps I can configure rather easily, UI flows not so much. [1] https://writequit.org/denver-emacs/presentations/2017-04-11-ivy.html https://writequit.org/denver-emacs/presentations/2017-04-11-...

> Most emacs users want to see the key mappings I can say absolute certainty that more inveterate emacs users would rather see a screenshot than a litany of keybindings.
