2026-05-18 Emacs news ===================== My favourite post this week was oantolin's tip about using Eww https://www.matem.unam.mx/~omar/apropos-emacs.html#may-i-recommend-eww-for-emacs-innovative-ui. It's always interesting to see what people can do when they apply Emacs's power and composability to all sorts of things, including evaluating code snippets from webpages. Outside Emacs, there was a lively conversation on HN about personal software https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48118727. Enjoy!
