<p>When you are tinkering with Emacs, would it be great to refer to others'
configs automatically?</p>
<p>In a sense, we are doing it manually already: We often go to other people's Github
repos and look at their configs (either in code or in a giant <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.org</code>
file).</p>
<p>With Doom Emacs, we may streamline the process. Here's my reasoning:</p>
<p>Doom Emacs establishes a convention of configuration files:</p>
<ul>
<li>Doom modules enabled in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">init.el</code></li>
<li>Other non-Doom packages: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">package.el</code></li>
<li>Customization stored and managed in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">custom.el</code></li>
<li>All private configs live in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.el</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In other words, Doom standardizes (and simplifies) the Emacs configurations.</p>
<p><strong>With all the famous peoples configs, we can build a service to automatically
analyze their configs and answer questions like</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Should I use this Doom package?</li>
<li>How do people configure it? What options do people use?</li>
<li>Is there any packages people use that matches the keyword <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">foo</code>?</li>
<li>What's the popularity of this config?</li>
<li>…</li>
</ul>
<p>We can build a program to pull the list of Doom config repos, and
perform file parsing to get the stats.</p>
<p>It would also help the community to improve the defaults on Doom Emacs. Say, if
the majority of users add package X in Doom, it is a appealing reason for Doom
to incorporate X.</p>
<p>We can extend the idea: <strong>Because Emacs can
act as a server and is inspectable, why don't we spin up an Emacs
cluster running all kinds of configs</strong>.</p>
<p>The service can answer all kinds of config queries.</p>
<p>A usage scenario: People send in their 1) Emacs version, 2) Doom
version, 3) package name, and the service returns a list of
configurations for that package, together with popularity data, and
documentation that people can search and learn.</p>
<p>What do you think of this idea? Drop me a comment!</p>
