tip VS emacs-bedrock

- Integration with other macOS apps, like Tip.app[1], so selection (region) in Emacs is recognised by macOS and sent to Tip.app as stdin

From downsides, it won't compile with xwidgets support (webkit).

Project 1: A desktop app. 900+ github stars, built with Swift / Obj C

Alternatively, you can program Tip (https://github.com/tanin47/tip, disclaimer: I'm the creator) to popup relevant menu items based on the text you currently select.

I've been using this at work hundreds of times every day for years now. I'd love anyone to try it out.

It won't, but I feel pretty damn good about my repo getting almost 900 stars (https://github.com/tanin47/tip).

The github stars is quite useful to break into big tech as well. But the value of it probably stops there.

Thank you for pointing it out. I just notice the description.

I guess I can offer a different one that is free.

A programmable tooltip on Mac: https://github.com/tanin47/tip

I'm experimenting with a mechanism to replace the selected text. You can select a text (on any app), activate the tooltip, and select one of the options, and that option can replace the selected text. The UX isn't as smooth as I want, and I'm still figuring out how to overcome that.

I use a mouse with 3 extra buttons.

2 are for copying and pasting.

1 is for activating a programmable tooltip.

Here are the apps I built for the above:

1. Mouse config tool for Mac https://github.com/tanin47/noo

2. Programmable tooltip for Mac https://github.com/tanin47/tip

You can get some ideas from mine. It uses use-package, straight.el, company, flycheck, lsp… The structure I stole from bedrock.

If you need a staring point for configuring there's some nice light ones like emacs-bedrock and crafted-emacs, and also some fully pre-configured Emacs distributions that you can choose from (though those look harder to configure to one's personal needs to me, but I haven't tried them so wouldn't know).
