`sbbs.el`
=========
`sbbs` is a [SchemeBBS][schemebbs] client in Emacs. It implements
browsing the thread list, threads and creating responses.
Any bugs, patches or questions can be submitted to my [public
inbox][mail].
Usage
-----
Make sure `sbbs.el` is your load path (if necessary adjust the
`load-path` variable), and then run `M-x sbbs`. This will prompt you
what board to load, and then open a buffer while asynchronously
fetching the thread list.
To start a new thread, press `c` (`sbbs-view-compose`), or open a
thread by pressing enter. When in a thread, respond by pressing `r`
(`sbbs-read-reply`). Create a thread or response by pressing `C-c C-c`
(`sbbs-compose-create`).
Issues and Improvments
----------------------
- Due to issues with `url.el`, some versions of Emacs take
quite long to load threads/thread lists.
- No highlighting in response buffers.
- Spoilers aren't shown unless manually highlighted.
- Remember already opened threads and highlight updates.
- Add auto-quoting support when responding (e.g. with a `C-u C-u`
prefix)
- Add quote-region support when responding
- Fix encoding issues
- Improve inter-thread navigation (eg. using `M-n`/`M-p` to go to next
(opened) thread)
- Add filter support
- Add support for VIP replies
- Add "open in browser" command
- Add support for ranged and list references
- Be more intelligent when reloading a thread
