2026-03-23 Emacs news
=====================

  Might be a good opportunity to set up better auto-saves, with 
buffer-guardian.el 
https://www.jamescherti.com/buffer-guardian-el-automatically-save-emacs-buffers/
 inspiring an update to super-save 0.5 
https://emacsredux.com/blog/2026/03/18/super-save-0-dot-5/. Also, there were a 
couple of interesting experiments embedding Chromium 
https://github.com/emacs-os/embr.el (Reddit 
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1ry1q5q/embrel_emacs_browser_emacs_is_the_display_server/)
 or native macOS views https://github.com/chaoswork/appine in Emacs (Reddit 
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1rv4idh/ann_appine_i_built_a_dynamic_module_to_embed/),
 and one about embedding Emacs in a webpage https://play.emacsen.de/ (Reddit 
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1rznu4l/run_emacs_in_your_browser_with_v86/).
