Instructions how to set this up?

[danielkrajnik]

Sorry, I'm new to emacs, what do you need to add to config.el to get this to work?

[slackline]

@danielkrajnik Emacs loads its configuration from an init.el when it starts.

You need a copy of elfeed-notifier.el locally on your computer and then in your init.el you could add the following...

(load "~/path/to/elfeed-notifier.el")

Thanks, it may be a but more complicated than that though when you are on doom emacs and what eventually seemed to work (elfeed updates automatically with a timer) was adding this macro to config.el:

(use-package! elfeed-system-notifier
  :defer t
  :commands elfeed-notifier-mode)
(elfeed-notifier-mode)

to get the package it needed to be added like this (it uses straight.el package manager) (packages.el):

(package! elfeed-system-notifier
  :recipe (:host github :repo "danielkrajnik/elfeed-system-notifier"))

I was confused, because it required invoking the commands elfeed-notifier-mode and elfeed-notifier-mode from use-package! macro.

I assume that this isn't an intended behavior? It should have Just Worked after loading the elfeed-notifier.el file right?

Hello @danielkrajnik,

This is how I personally use the package

(use-package elfeed-notifier
  :straight (elfeed-notifier :type git :host github :repo "flocks/elfeed-notifier")
  :config
  (elfeed-notifier-mode))

I assume that this isn't an intended behavior? It should have Just Worked after loading the elfeed-notifier.el file right?

Honestly I don't know, it seems a common pattern to let the user activate/deactivate the mode

[danielkrajnik]

Perfect, thank you. I didn't know that it was necessary to evaluate the elfeed-notifier-mode after loading. It makes sense now.

I'm glad you finally managed to set it up
