If you install it through the package manager (by running M-x package-list-packages and then selecting it from there) you can update it through that as well (hitting U will select all updates). See eg: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_package_system.html

#22Great to see well documented emacs lisp code that I can learn from. I've been wondering how you make clickable and coloured text in a buffer.

#23Very nice. But no font locking... I didn't see anything in the code to indicate anything that matches the screen shot.

It looks exactly like the screen shot on my computer.

#25Does this integrate with gnus, or is it standalone? In any case, I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this sooner. Nice work.

#27Are things like these just proof-of-concepts, or are there many people out there that use these? It's things like this that are just promoting the joke that "Emacs is a great OS, but lacks a good text editor." (Honest question)
I use emacs for email and news reader (gnus), Irc (rcirc), jabber (jabber.el), twitter (twittering-mode), calculator, password storage (PGP encrypted file), and sysadmining (remote/sudo file editing with tramp).
And I use it as my primary development envrionment. I get the same text editor capabilities if I'm writing a tweet, email or code. And yes, vim is a far superior editor. Luckily emacs implements that as well (evil or viper).

#28Serious question: does anyone know of a similar command-line/vim alternative?
w3m works great for hacker news.
