Excited but lost

[DamienCassou]

Hi,

coming from the Pharo community, I know where this project comes from and I'm excited. Unfortunately, I don't find enough information on your blog or on this repository to get started and understand what can be done. I think a step-by-step tutorial would really help.

Thank you

Hi Damien! I hear the enthusiasm: thank you for that! If I want start small what should I start with? You got a reference for me I can use as a template of tutorial?

[DamienCassou]

I have nothing like that.

I wrote a small tutorial for navigel that is just simple and heavily commented code.

Here is some documentation for the hierarchy package (now in Emacs core).

Some themes for a tutorial for moldable-emacs:

• listing current Emacs buffers and showing their size in bar chart
• maybe a new version of extending the Playground powers via hooks (to include Dired) written in a step-by-step tutorial
• creating a hierarchy view of a class-based source code

Thanks that gives me ideas. Just to be clear: your priority is an explanation for how to use moldable-emacs or you are interested more in how to write your own molds? For example, "listing current Emacs buffers and showing their size in bar chart" can be done with what is there. While the last will probably need some thinking (uhm, maybe a plantuml-based view?) Anyway, I guess I should write a tutorial for both..

I would like to get started, I know nothing. The most basic tutorial would certainly help!

@DamienCassou how about https://github.com/ag91/moldable-emacs/blob/master/tutorials/ListCurrentEmacsBuffersAndSizesInBarChart.org ? Note, I have made also a mold to show you the tutorials: "Show Tutorials".

Thank you very much. I will now comment on https://github.com/ag91/moldable-emacs/issues/12.
