Hiten

WARNING: This is very early stage, experimental software. Don't expect it to be useful.

Hiten allows you to control a Google Chrome session from an Emacs buffer. Why would you want to do that? Well, for one thing, it allows you to browse any website that Chrome can load within Emacs, including fancy webapps using Javascript that are not likely to work using text-based browsers such as eww, w3m or elinks.

Prerequisites

• node.js
• pandoc
• Google Chrome and chromedriver

Installation

• Run yarn install (or npm install if you don't have Yarn)

Usage

• In a terminal, run chromedriver --port=4444 --url-base=/wd/hub
• In Emacs, load hiten.el from this repository, then run M-x hiten. (Your node executable needs to be available on Emacs' exec-path.)
