emacs-application-framework VS emacs-webkit

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.

lols in 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.

Does GUI Emacs count as sufficiently terminal-ish? You can embed a Webkit-driven browser into Emacs, and then do anything browser-y you need to from there: https://github.com/akirakyle/emacs-webkit

Fixing the link: emacs-webkit

There is also https://github.com/akirakyle/emacs-webkit/. The author seems to be a little busy now.

Not really solving your question (sorry for the off topic comment), but is there any benefit to using w3m instead of something more featured such as xwidgets (or better, emacs-webkit)

For that purpose, I'd recommend emacs-webkit, though it's in an early stage of development.

This is doable now with Emacs webkit Although I found this only works with the pgtk branch

When reading src of emacs-webkit, I don't understand how it show the widgets in Emacs.
