Emacs

With Zotra, you can get a bibliography entry from a url or a search identifier (DOI, ISBN, PMID, arXiv ID). You can even add a bookmark to you browser so that when you click it, the bibliography information of the webpage you're visiting would be saved in some bib file. You can also get the links for attachments and download them from Emacs.

This is done using Zotero translators, so it basically has the full power of Zotero. There is no need for the Zotero client, but it needs to connect to either Zotero translation server or zotra-cli as the backend.

First of all, I'd want to thank you all that subscribed to the community and doubly so for those that are actively contributing, posting and writing comments. I might be missing some data (federation is never perfect) but it seems that !emacs@communick.news is the most active Emacs-related community in the whole threadiverse.

Second, it is no secret that I am working hard to have an ethical and sustainable alternative to the walled gardens of Big Tech, and I think that having at least one community on Lemmy that could surpass the reddit equivalent would be an impressive milestone.

Given that, I want to ask for your feedback and your help to increase the momentum. What can we do to make this place a reference not just for the fediverse, but the whole Internet?

So far, what I've been doing:

• Checking all the resources that we have on the sidebar (which was shamelessly copied from reddit)
• Following #emacs on Mastodon to find out interesting links that could be posted here.
• Inviting people I find on /r/emacs and on Mastodon for them to join this community.

Bear in mind that I am not looking for "growth at all costs" and I really do not want to sacrifice quality over quantity. I think we can "win" by continuously attracting the people that are passionate about Emacs and slowly converting them away from Reddit and into here.

As always, feel free to throw around all of your ideas around. I am pretty sure that something good will come out of this discussion.

Here's my latest learning elisp post. It continues with the rot13 project we started last time. There are 2 linked videos which cover conditionals and elisp's (interactive) form.

Hi everybody.

Glad to be part of this community. As some of you might know, I've been on and off making Emacs related videos for years.

Here's my latest in my learning elisp series:
