Show HN: A web front end for your Org-files

Emacs Viewer

A web frontend for your Org files! (100% faithful to GNU+Emacs!)

Screenshots

Damn, feels good to be FREE (AGPL3+).

Awesome features!

Project setup

Emacs_viewer requires OCaml 4.14.0 to build, to install the project dependencies, simply run:

opam install --deps-only .

Then to build the executable, simply run:

dune build --release ./bin/main.exe

Copy the executable in ./_build/default/bin/main.exe to somewhere convenient with the name emacs_viewer (on your path), and run to your hearts content!

./emacs_viewer --help

NAME emacs-viewer

SYNOPSIS
       emacs-viewer [--client=VAL] [--debug] [--port=VAL] [OPTION]…

OPTIONS
       -c VAL, --client=VAL
           Command to use for Emacsclient, defaults to emacsclient.emacs.

       -D, --debug
           Whether to run in debug mode.

       -p VAL, --port=VAL
           Port to run server on, defaults to 8080.

Developer setup

Then to build and run the tests:

opam exec -- dune build

Finally, to run the tool:

opam exec -- dune exec ./bin/main.exe -- <options-go-here>

For development, we provide an OCaml script that uses inotify to rebuild and rerun the project automatically when the sources change:

opam exec -- dune exec ./scripts/run_and_rebuild.exe
