Irreal readers can’t help but know who Álvaro Ramírez is, if for no other reason that I’m always blathering on about his Journelly app that is my most used and useful iOS app. But of course, Ramírez has many other excellent apps, many of which are Emacs packages. In particular, there is his dwim-shell-command that allows you to automate shell commands—particularly those with complex invocations—from the comfort of Emacs. There’s also his take on music players, an uniform AI access app, and a lot more besides.
You can check out his blog posts or take a look at his iOS/macOS/Emacs applications. He’s been an independent developer for some time but now he’s taken on a new role: fatherhood. He’s now the proud dad of a new son. He tells us that his output may slow down a bit because, after all, he has to start working on his son’s init.el.
