I had my attempt at migrating in the past, but hey this is what's cooking for now.

Not prototyped, but it would be possible, yes. Everything needed is there.

There are important folks in my life who aren't in a capacity to switch who depend on me, so... it's a little complicated for me.

Of the Meta avenues, WhatsApp is the one I very much cannot ditch. All others, different story.

While I would love to ditch WhatsApp (and tried), it's a lot more complicated than that (for me anyway).

There are folks in my life who are very important to me and this is the only way they can contact me. Retraining is simply not an option for them.

Why send WhatsApp messages from your phone or browser, when you can send straight from your text editor!? 😅

GitHub - asternic/wuzapi: Simple RESTful API for WhatsApp in Golang (using the Whatsmeow multi device library) Simple RESTful API for WhatsApp in Golang (using the Whatsmeow multi device library) - asternic/wuzapi

Impressed by github.com/asternic/wuz... In an initial try, everything just worked.

So tempted to prototype a #WhatsApp #Emacs package.

Should I?!

The 300th agent-shell star, granted by none other than a Nyan Cat. Could a higher honor be bestowed upon me? Time to pack it up.

If you’ve been using Emacs on macOS and iOS for a while, you probably know Álvaro Ramírez, the maker of Journelly and dwim-shell-command. I’m a fan of both.

Turns out Álvaro has a sponsorship page on GitHub. If you benefit from his work and look for a way to help out, this is it!

Claude down got you down? Use a @zed.dev ACP-powered agent like agent-shell and move on.

Keep the experience, swap providers FTW

agent-shell-send-current-file and agent-shell-send-other-file

also agent-shell-send-file which tries to be smart

You have two options:

1. C-u M-x agent-shell
2. M-x agent-shell-anthropic-start-claude-code

I'm going to change it such that M-x agent-shell is smart enough to offer to create a new one if this scenario is detected.

> one cool feat is send a file to the agent

You mean as missing? If so, try M-x agent-shell-insert-file from any file buffer. I may just alias as agent-shell-send-file too for discoverability if you reckon this tripped ya.

I so love my #emacs, was configuring some packages and wanted something easier, so I wrote a small function that will look up all the custom variables for a package and provide them as completion, allowing you to easily insert them. Trying to be more like @xenodium.bsky.social by sharing.

Yay! Wonderful to hear!

Some features aren't super visible yet. Check M-x agent-shell-help-menu.
