    A thought flickered in my not-brain a few moments ago: Emacs as the ultimate "notetaker" experience for blind people. Everything is text, and if we make it a Window Manager, it can open Firefox/Thunderbird and such when we need something heavier.

    Of course, we'd have to make a "main menu" of course, ad work around stuff like the Org agenda dispatch only saying "key" instead of what keys you can press, stuff like that, but it may be possible, especially with one person driving an LLM... Insane.

    Follow to receive updates on this project like "oh yeah I completely forgot about this," and "Meh whatever no one would even use this."

      @pixelate Finally maybe a valid reason for a new Linux OS.

          @pixelate By some strange psychological phenomenon the Linux community is devided into two camps, vi and emacs. I am in the vi camp, but cool project. If functional and a package is available we could add it to Beaver.

            @StefanWelebny Honestly I never tried too hard to get into Vi/Vim or even eVIl mode in Emacs. Emacspeak simply brings Emacs to life far more than just a bland screen reader reading Vim. Most code editors are like looking at a black and white TV, while Emacs with Emacspeak is like looking at a color display. Just plain pleasing (usually) to use.
