deadgrep VS flymake-collection

Deadgrep (uses ripgrep and evil-collection has a binding) takes me to my happy place -

https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep

theres a package for this that’s god tier: deadgrep

this is cool too Wilfred/deadgrep: fast, friendly searching with ripgrep and Emacs

rg.el or deadgrep: Emacs interfaces to ripgrep, a grep-like tool that is very fast. This lets us search across a large number of files for a pattern of text. The disadvantage of searching for text is that if you are looking for the method called foo and there are hundreds of them that exist, it can be hard to know which one you really want. On the other hand, at the scale and complexity that you are talking about, I can imagine that more IDE-like tools just start failing.

Yes in this area (text search) there is many alternatives. Wilfred Hughes (author of deadgrep) has listed them in: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep/blob/master/docs/ALTERNATIVES.md

Anyone interested in this should also check out deadgrep: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep

Deadgrep does this, IIUC (I use ripgrep.el instead, but I think deadgrep does something like what you want)

deadgrep is an interface to ripgrep.

Keep in mind the flymake-php package is pretty old. If you want, you can take a look at flymake-collection and possibly configure a checker for PHP yourself using the macros provided by that package.

Granted, Flycheck makes it easier to create checkers. But flymake-collection and the macros it defines make it easier for Flymake.

I also got rid of posframe. I can have the minibuffer open at the top of the frame using display-buffer-in-side-window (side . top) which is good enough for me. I also got rid of ranger for dired and general for bind-key (since I was already using use-package, bind-key basically comes for free). Got rid of flycheck for flymake (https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection makes this a lot easier!). I also moved from evil to the less intrusive meow for modal editing (https://github.com/meow-edit/meow).

Hiya, this is just a post announcing a packge I recently released to MELPA called [flymake-collection](https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection). It's essentially a collection of checkers for flymake bringing it a little closer to the outstanding out-of-the-box experience offered by flycheck. It was renamed from a package called flymake-rest which you might've heard of. Please check it out if you're interested and share any feedback :-).
