# sbbs.el
`sbbs` is a 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.

## 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
