# bbs-ui.el

We now have the first BBS client for Emacs. Expect some bugs.

## Source

Plugin distribution is still being figured out. For now, the source code is available here:

[View `bbs-ui.el` on GitHub](https://github.com/cashmeredev/emacs/blob/master/lisp/bbs-ui.el)

## Installation

Download `bbs-ui.el`, place it in your Emacs `load-path`, and add the following configuration:

```elisp
(use-package textui
  :ensure (:host github :repo "yibie/textui" :files ("*.el")))

(use-package bbs-ui
  :ensure nil
  :after textui
  :commands (bbs bbs-open)
  :custom
  ;; Replace this with the path to your local Fossil clone.
  (bbs-ui-repository-file
   (expand-file-name "~/path/to/bbs.fossil"))
  (bbs-ui-web-base-url "https://bbs.copland.systems")
  (bbs-ui-pull-on-open nil))
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Before launching bbs-ui.el, make sure you have followed the
> **[Quick Setup](https://bbs.copland.systems/forumpost/41febf6ec1)**.
