🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll learn how to use Guile Hall, Guix and Emacs to develop new Guile Scheme libraries! With these tools you can scaffold new projects with everything you need to start hacking.

As an experiment, we'll use them to prototype a simple URL route handling library!

Okay, so I was talking to the guys in #systemcrafters yesterday (on Matrix) about RSS Reader choices (I use Reeder), and we were discussing stuff about it, and I see THIS just now on Hacker News:

Omnivore FOSS RSS Reader App
https://omnivore.app

#FOSS #RSS #reader #app

I'm actually gonna sign up to check it out. It looks nice (it looks like Reeder in fact) and it looks interesting.

Remember I am a newbie : I wanted to open a link from #Emacs into #Qutebrowser
I am sure there's already a way, but I didn't find it

So it was the opportunity to make my first #elisp code (obviously some bits are copied from internet).
I begin to realize what "empowerment" means when you become a #systemcrafters
Sure not academic but it works !

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at a few different options for using Emacs as a shell or terminal emulator: Eshell, vterm, and Eat! We'll compare them to find the overall best experience in terms of speed, terminal emulation quality, and efficiency of use.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with writing a true graphical installation UI for GNU Guix using Guile Scheme and GTK!

We probably won't make it very far, but I want to try to prove that it can be done!

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll try out the Elpaca package manager for Emacs! This project offers some nice features including asynchronous installs and an improved package management UI.

Let's experiment with it to see if it deserves a home in your configuration!

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll how we can simplify Guix configurations and share high quality, reusable configuration blocks!

We'll also hack on an example of this to provide a pre-made Sway desktop environment that you can pull into a Guix configuration with a few lines of code.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll try out new v2 Beta release of Crafted Emacs!

These changes make it easier to build your own Emacs configuration with the help of Crafted Emacs modules.

We'll be joined by Crafted Emacs maintainer Jeff Bowman to discuss the work he's done on this release!

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look Ement.el, a package by prolific Emacs coder Alphapapa. Ement.el is a great client for Matrix which provides rich chat experience from the comfort of Emacs.

If you're interested in joining the System Crafters Matrix rooms, definitely give this a look!

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll explore the depths of Emacs' Dired feature to see if we can discover some of its lesser-known capabilities. We'll try to figure out bulk file operations, file previews, advanced Dired buffer tricks, and more.

Let's figure out how to use this package properly!

@daviwil and #systemcrafters fam, I started using ein [1], it works well but I'm hoping to recruit your help to get better at it.

I'd like to peep someone's config or a good tutorial to get it setup nicely, especially completions. I found myself going back to jupyter lab to examine the data frame; based on searching I'm not the only one. Are y'all aware of any good resources? I want to stick to ipynb for collaboration. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers.

Interesting perspective and raises concerns others have already raised, but still worth thinking about.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with a Wayland compositor called `dwl-guile` which is meant to be used with GNU Guix and configured with Guile Scheme!

Do we now have a modern, REPL-hackable window management experience built on Wayland? Let's find out!

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll try to define the principles of "system crafting" as a framework to decide how to choose tools when crafting one's system.

I have my own ideas for what these principles are but I'm very interested to hear your suggestions!

#systemcrafters made a huge difference for me this go round in exploring emacs. Hard to even estimate how valuable it's been.
