elfeed VS emacs-application-framework

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

Here's how I improved responsiveness in my config: https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed/issues/293

(Bonus) I want to dedicate some "perspective" or "tab" for programs such as Org Agenda, Elfeed, etc.

elfeed: An Emacs web feeds client.

If I come across an arbitrary element I want to ignore/skip, I don't bother looking at the tags. Instead I count element depth until I'm back at the original depth. I don't need to be strict about it since the goal is only to extract useful information from the input. In practice this always works fine. (I've been working in this space for almost 9 years, and I have yet to observe a case where this doesn't approach wouldn't work.)

No, I use Livemarks to get an indication a site provides a feed (i. e. the feed icon) and discover the feed URL without having to search for it in the page source. Then I add that URL to an external feed reader (Elfeed for years now).

I can't believe no-one has mentioned elfeed + elfeed-dashboard makes an awesome RSS reader. I used it to find this post through the reddit RSS post. But I can scan all the RSS things and read through them far more rapidly than visiting each idiosyncratic web page.

Great! I love this. I have a similar motivation system, but which is graphical by design. Right now I use an external program to manage the UI, but have considered integrating it using Emacs-EAF.

Just discovered this project Emacs Application Framework? Looks pretty interesting. They seem have developed everything from a web browser to a pdf reader. Anyone used it yet? What are your thoughts about it?

Thank you for the reply! This is a bit disheartening. I was hoping that it was possible with something like EAF.

I'm very new to using Emacs. I used it a bit for school but learned nothing about how to modify it etc. Recently I installed Doom Emacs which is very cool, and then I found out about Emacs Application Framework. Unfortunately I have no idea how to install it on Doom because the guide only talks about vanilla emacs. I found a reddit thread about it which also cites a github discussion, but unfortunately I have no idea what they are talking about. I tried to do some stuff without understanding. I am not 100% sure what I did but it didn't really work and I don't even know for sure how to get everything back to where it was before I added anything and start trying again.

There is also this guy with EAF. I have never used it myself, but it seems to expose Qt, which should give you lots of opportunity. I don't know how simple/difficult it is to get it going, and how well it works on macos.
