It seems there's a lot of interest in continuing work on Guile Emacs, since it keeps coming up on Reddit and Hacker News and everyone is lamenting the fact that there are too few Scheme hackers and they don't seem to be interested in the project. (Someone even offered to fund it.)
Right now I'm seriously considering starting a revival project. Is anyone here interested in such a venture?

I'm really enjoying https://maps.openrouteservice.org with the topplus map rendering.
Very effective for route planning.
Contemplating an #onyx note 2 device. Any useful insights?
Uses:

- "normal" book reading

Required for any programmer.
Watch it when you have 2 hours of time; it's most effective to watch in one go:
I really want to like magit forge in #emacs; it's so nicely integrated, but it is way to slow to be practical for me.
This helps (a bit)
If you are into workshop stuff, watch https://www.youtube.com/user/dgelbart/videos (yes, all of them)
I'd like to 3D print a phonecase for my Xiaomi Mi Mix so I can choose color, material etc.
Not looking forward to the design process, even something simple takes me ages. Haven't found other usable designs yet for that model.
#git bisecting a program that compiles for 2 hours is not my kind of fun
