#+Title: SX -- Stack Exchange for Emacs
[[https://travis-ci.org/vermiculus/sx.el][https://travis-ci.org/vermiculus/sx.el.svg?branch=master]]

SX is a full featured Stack Exchange mode for GNU Emacs 24+. Using the official
API, it provides a versatile experience for the Stack Exchange network within
Emacs itself.
[[file:list-and-question.png]]
* Features
** Viewing Questions
View questions with one of the ~sx-tab-~ commands. These translate to the
different 'tabs' that you can view on the official site. Implemented tabs
include:
- =frontpage= :: The default front page of questions.
- =newest= :: Newest questions first.
- =topvoted= :: Highest-voted questions first.
- =hot= :: Questions with the most views, answers, and votes over the last few
days.
- =week= :: Questions with the most views, answers, and votes this week.
- =month= :: Questions with the most views, answers, and votes this month.
The meaning of these tabs hopefully needs no explanation, but the official
behavior is given as a tooltip on any site in the StackExchange network.
Each of these opens up a list of questions. Switch sites with =:=. Navigate
this list of questions with =jk= or =np=. =jk= will also view the question in a
separate buffer. =v= will visit the question in your browser where =w= will
simply copy a link. Upvote and downvote with =u= and =d=. =RET= will take you
to the question buffer, where =RET= on headlines will expand and collapse each
section. Add comments with =c=.
As always, =C-h m= is the definitive resource for the functions of this mode.
* Installation
SX is now available on MELPA! Install it via the usual method or run =M-x
package-install RET sx RET=.
To install the development version, follow the usual steps:
- Clone this repository
- Add this directory to your ~load-path~
- Issue ~(require 'sx-load)~
This should give you access to the ~sx-tab-~ functions (the main entry points at
this time).
If you are going to be doing any asking / answering / commenting / upvoting /
downvoting / /etc./, you must use ~sx-authenticate~ to provide SX with an
authentication token to act on your behalf.
* Contributing
Please help contribute! Doing any of the following will help us immensely:

** Icons
SX has no explicit /need/ for an icon, although standard SVG files
have been gathered in =resources/= if anyone would fancy a crack at
it.
