As do I; I find writing Lisp to be the best user interface experience.

Makes sense.

Once it stabilizes we'll need to add documentation in the Fine

I use Emms to play long videos often and would like to integrate
bookmarking with the ability to detect when and where the video had been
paused on the mpv side (someone walked into the room and hit the
space-bar on my machine in order to talk to me). So that's at least one
