This is a fork. The original repo I got my copy from 404'd, and so I have reuploaded it here. I will work to improve some aspects of this project over time where I can. Feel free to submit PRs and issues if you want.
REQUIRES EMACS 25
I am no longer developing this package. It's a fully functional browser but lacks a few features I initially planned because I decided not to waste any more time browsing chans then neccesary :^)
In this fork I plan on implementing features that I think are important for any 4chan client. This is mainly actually being able to post on 4chan, and not just being a read only pleb. To accomplish this I'll probably use the xwidget features. After that, added features from 4chanx will be natural conclusion.
A few bullet points:
- Uses the JSON api, no web scraping pleb shit.
- No third party emacs dependencies, just a recent build of GNU Emacs (25+).
- Full thumbnail support
- Full resolution media support with the 3rd party programs
fehandmpv wgetintegration to download thread photos- Comfy navigation features like quote-hopping, URL scraping, viewing replies, and inline quote expansion.
- Board, thread, and post crosslink support.
- Send threads and post numbers to your native browser for easy replying
- Integrates with Evil, Helm, and Ivy when they are available.
TODO:
You can file github issues for any reason you'd like. They don't have to be bug reports, they can be suggestions, complaints, etc. New feature requests are very welcome. I want to never have to touch firefox again to browse the 'chans.
If you use evil, these are mostly the same except j/k replace n/p, page refreshing is done with R instead of g, and SPC/DEL is RET/DEL, and l to recenter is not bound to anything right now. Check the source for definitive definitions. As is always the case with emacs, these can be changed.
