Neomacs: Structural Lisp IDE/browser/computing environment

This is going to be a hard sell:<p>&gt; Neomacs relies on Electron...<p>Tired flamebait aside, this looks cool. I&#x27;d like to know how it&#x27;s different from Lem and Emacs-NG.<p>I gladly welcome &quot;macsen&quot; and note some other great programs in the tradition:<p><pre><code> Emacs (OG) Genera (OS) Climacs (CL) TeXmacs (DTP) </code></pre> Honorable mention: Plan 9, Pharo, gforth. Anything I missed?<p>This store or using the computer is vastly more satisfying than rigid, compiled button-driven interfaces and makes me feel like my computer is much more a &quot;bicycle for the mind&quot; than a on-rails haunted house ride for the mind. I&#x27;m using Spacemacs with EXWM as my &quot;desktop&quot; in Guix these days and loving it.

This is a hard sell:<p><pre><code> sudo chown root electron&#x2F;chrome-sandbox sudo chmod 4755 electron&#x2F;chrome-sandbox </code></pre> Installing a new setuid root binary? I guess that the sandbox process is small, and not really electron, but just hearing &quot;electron&quot; and &quot;setuid&quot; in the same sentence is enough to make me run away!

While I&#x27;m not an Emacs user I like the philosophy of it. And I like text editors.<p>That said, I use orgmode on android (orgzly) and used it on sublime text (orgextended), that&#x27;s a nice feature. I know one guy who uses emacs and when I heard of lem (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lem-project&#x2F;lem">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lem-project&#x2F;lem</a>) I told him. (Lem is also in CL)<p>He was quite enthusiastic of it, but 2 or 3 things were missing at the time, the first of all you guessed it, it&#x27;s org-mode, second was magit but he could use lem without it and finally it was a plugin manager (but we agreed it is a lot of work).<p>I don&#x27;t know what are your plans but I hope I could give you some ideas.

The license-less submissions have really ramped up recently :-(<p>Also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neomacs-project&#x2F;neomacs#:~:text=Neomacs%20relies%20on%20Electron">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neomacs-project&#x2F;neomacs#:~:text=Neomacs%2...</a>

Nowadays I&#x27;m a normal Emacs user. Was a heavy emacs and org-mode user some years ago, with hundred of lines of customized lisp code to tweak Emacs. That said, looking at the repro, I still didn&#x27;t get exactly what Neomacs is actually doing.<p>I would really appreciate some short Screencast, a bit more introduction, some examples, to get an idea what we are looking at. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that Neomacs is great and might get a user base, if potential users been able to understand within a few seconds what they are looking at.<p>You know, our attention span went downhill since YouTube shorts and TikTok videos

What does neomacs offer that emacs + lispy can&#x27;t?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abo-abo&#x2F;lispy">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abo-abo&#x2F;lispy</a>

I get that the name is similar to neovim but for a second I thought it was the nomacs image viewer

&gt; Neomacs relies on Electron which has known permission issues on some Linux distros. Try the following workaround: &gt; sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 &gt; sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1<p>WTF? What in the world is wrong with Electron? Why is this needed and why is it only needed on some distro? Is that for all Electron apps?
