the Agent section is extended by agent-shell-hud which bridge agent-shell session to emacs-workspace-hud. Nice to have a hud updating the agent activities while working on other buffers.

I've created a floating HUD for Emacs. It's visually appealing to see something beyond the rigid grid-based layout typically associated with Emacs! https://t.co/OSsuAK26c8

@manateelazycat @Ursocren 你说的没错，之前的方案是WASM受限于单线程只能用一个cpu，搜索过滤的代码在WASM中运行很慢。用了一个sidecar进程的方案把搜索过滤的代码挪到WASM外用多核CPU计算，再将数据传输回去。异步不阻塞。

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@manateelazycat @Ursocren 之前尝试过在 macos 下用EAF，一直没能成功，就放弃了。。。

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@manateelazycat @Ursocren 调查看发现目前看实现只在macos下有效，GPU加速依赖 xwidget-webkit WebGL后端，linux下xwidget 用的是WebkitGTK，情况复杂多了，搞不太懂

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@manateelazycat @Ursocren 不知道emskin啊，我看看，我没调研就直接开写了。目前测试下来macos 下xwidget用的原生webkit 是支持GPU加速的，linux下我就不太懂了。

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@manateelazycat @Ursocren 是的，我这个parquet文件查看只是一个demo，用来验证用egui 写emacs应用可行，数据处理是在外部的rust，不是用elisp

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@manateelazycat @Ursocren emskin项目和我的目的不太一样，不过我希望macos下也能有类似的项目。。。这样我就不用单独开一个terminal

I used gemini 3.5 flash to build the main features once I built the PoC, the model is not that bad once you can delivery clear unambiguous instructions to it. These agents can built the UI part almost flawlessly this kind of task is just too tedious for human

A native, GPU-accelerated Parquet file explorer running directly inside Emacs at a lockstep 60 FPS, powered by Rust & egui WASM. Emacs <-> xwidget-webkit <-> WebAssembly <-> egui in Rust. Using my emacs-egui framework for extending emacs with Rust ecosystem via egui.

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

this GPU-accelerated parquet file explorer is available now. It proves that Emacs <-> xwidget-webkit <-> WebAssembly works, it think it’s better that EAF which requires external QT and python runtime

gemini flash 3.5 in Antigravity is so fast, when you know what you are going to do, gemini flash 3.5 fast (high) speed really takes your productivity to next level

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

Experimenting with a new Emacs UI idea recently: a fixed non-focusable child frame using xwidget to display egui interface compiled to WASM, which is GPU-accelerated and refreshed at 60fps. It gives Emacs UI a refreshing visual look. A promising idea.

oh man!

In Emacs, horizontal scrolling means "skip N columns of characters" there's no concept of "show this image starting from pixel X" The whole image is considered as one column and emacs just lacks infrastructure to scroll horizontally by pixels

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

Emacs genuinely cannot horizontally scroll a large image in image-mode. The display engine has pixel-precise vertical scrolling (set-window-vscroll with t) but only character-column horizontal scrolling (set-window-hscroll, no pixel mode).

javascript never fails to amaze me

@ericc__ch @mitsuhiko In the most nightmare-ish way.

const re = /foo/g; re.test("foobar"); re.test("foobar");
The first is true the second false. Great design.

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

@JJ90_James sure, fan out to process to call CLI to generate SVG/PNG is workable, but less performant compare to in-memory SVG generation and instantly rendered in Emacs if the renderer is in Rust

[SnowAFK @SnowAFK]

beautiful-mermaid is the best mermaid renderer, but it’s written in JS/TS. I wish it were written in Rust so I could embed it in my Rust runtime for a real-time markdown mermaid block preview in Emacs. For now I use mmdflux, it’s also a great tool btw, just not so polish

I learn many things from frontier models, they are truly knowledgeable monsters. They know many my unknown unknowns, and my learning speed is accelerating.
