A client library and UI for Lemmy, has most of the basics in working order now. interested to hear your feedback if you give it a go. other complex UI features like rich post composing and image handling will be ported from mastodon.el.
it is designed to have a clean API layer, so the functions in lem-api.el could be used to create other interfaces.
Why not call it lemmy.el?
does that really matter? its clear that lem.el is an Emacs library, and is thus named as such (.el), and is thus not a standalone piece of software. I really don’t think its a problem. there are no Emacs libraries with the same name.
Oh man, this is cool. Is anyone currently working on a Lemmy client for Emacs? I don’t know much Elisp, but this would be a good project to cut my teeth on.
lem.el also implements a client, similar in design to mastodon.el. i did the api layer so that others could implement other kinds of interfaces such as a gnus backend if they desired.
