did you look at the source? it's like 200 lines. basically key shortcuts to mplayer operations. you could have done it in a couple of days (less if you know elisp). but my point is that everything starts small. so just start ;)
incidentally for truly impressive emacs packages check out: gnus, erc, slime, org-mode, tramp, magit, ido, paredit, nxhtml, yasnippet.
- rayvega 18y agoAgreed. I'd probably reverse Hexstream's comment in that I find it much harder to think up good ideas than actually implementing them. It just never would have occurred to me to use Emacs as a video editor (my brain has been conditioned to think of it strictly as a text editor). If that idea had popped in my head then implementing it, relatively speaking, would probably have been less of a challenge than coming up with the actual idea in the first place which requires overcoming my preconceived notions. In this instance, the idea is far more impressive than the actual code. This demonstrates innovation beyond technical prowess because it added a new way of doing something to a familiar software tool that most people would never have thought of.
- Hexstream 18y agoOh wow. I just looked at the source. It's incredible what you can do sometimes with just a bit of integration!
