What Hacker News says
2 sourcesIt was weirdly satisfying to create an emacs package (https://github.com/dp12/parrot) that shows the party parrot from Slack gyrating in the mode line.
A somewhat useless feature, but it partially redeems itself by offering a "rotate-text" function.
Now I'm anxiously waiting for vim users to port it, as vim users are wont to do. I do expect the resulting plugin will be called something like vip for "very important parrot."
