I've been dreaming with a sci-fi world where at some point the web get's so awful, that a small group splits to an alternate hypertext reality that is only text based.
I'd join that commune

#13The single screencast is pretty compelling, I'd suggest just screencasting everything from the examples and adding to your landing page. Don't have an immediate use but I like it.
The introductory screencast was a key part behind Rails' initial success back in the day :)

#14rich cli prompts is an oxymoron, but I'm glad you support vim movement: https://github.com/manifoldco/promptui/blob/master/select.go...
I so much agree. There's enough dancing baloney on the web, we don't need it infecting the command line. Just say no.

#16I think of Emacs as a program with a great text interface. I think that something like this should be easily done in Emacs. However, I don't think this is the case today, as per some research I've done this summer. Anyone has ideas on what set of packages could be utilized with elisp in order to achieve rich UI elements for emacs?

While I'm super happy with today's web technologies, I think there would be indeed room for an alternative, typography centered approach that would dare to try new paradigms.
The crucial thing is to avoid reinventing teletext :)

Are you saying emacs is not customizable enough?

Emacs has already some kind of buttons and search fields, check out M-x "customize" to see some of them.
