Hello! I'm happy to announce the release of Disproject version 2.2.0. This update comes with various improvements, including:

• a new customizable menu that lets the user select from a list of display-buffer overrides as transient state, which can be applied to suffix commands;
• a new customizable menu for finding common project files like the dir-locals file or README file, dubbed "special files";
• and a newly-written Info user manual to provide documentation on using and configuring Disproject (please feel free to inform me or open an issue about any mistakes or sections that feel confusing!).

The full change notes for this release can be found here.

Disproject is a GNU Emacs package that implements Transient menus for managing and interacting with project files. It aims to provide a featureful, yet extensible interface from which users can intuitively dispatch commands on projects.

Some of its notable features include:

• a main menu with access to many of the built-in project library's commands and other project-aware commands;
• auto-detection of current project as the default project to act on from the menu;
• options for switching to other projects from the menu in order to execute commands elsewhere;
• a menu for finding common "special" project files, like the dir-locals file;
• a menu for custom project-local suffix commands;
• and display-buffer override options, to control where commands should display buffers to.

This package was inspired by the project-switch-project command, from the built-in project library. Users may also draw similarities to the Projectile library's projectile-commander.

I explain what I dislike about which-key and what I think people should use instead.

Hello,

I have been using erc ( IRC client ) for quite some time and I really like how it's integrated inside emacs. for past few days I have been trying out XMPP and would like to have a XMPP client inside emacs.

I searched on DDG to find an emacs client however none of them were actively maintain and the last commit was years ago.

is there a XMPP client written in elisp?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm looking for opinions on org-roam from people that used plain old org for notes extensively before trying org-roam. I've trying to figure out if I'm missing anything by not trying org-roam and it's hard because when I ask org-roam users what they get out of it they tend to reply with stuff that I already know how to do in org: daily notes, capture notes quickly and unobtrusively, searching for notes, linking to other notes. Often it turns out these org-roam users did not use org before org-roam. The exceptions to functionality being available in org that I see mentioned are automatic backlinks and a graphical representation of the link structure.

I have no interest in the seeing the link graph, but I'm not sure about automatic backlinks. In what ways do people find them useful?

It could also happen that the org-roam features I feel I already have in org (daily notes, capturing, searching and linking) are somehow better in org-roam than in plain org. Fair enough, for example I wasn't completely happy with searching and linking in org by itself, so I now use the excellent org-ql package for those tasks. Could someone who has done these things both in plain org and org-roam describe if and how they are improved in org-roam? Particularly, is capturing in org-roam somehow better than org-capture? Are org-roam dailies better than a datetree?
