hyakt / emacs-dashboard-hackernews Goto Github PK

Hello @hyakt. Thanks for this fun dashboard module.

I noticed that the items weren't displaying consistently, so I did some digging. This addresses that issue and a couple others. Let me know what you think.

Many Emacs packages (including dashboard) have badges in the readme containing information on version in melpa and more. Would be cool if we could have that as well, as it can prove useful.

I seem to be able to install the package just fine, but it seems hackernews doesn't exist. Eg:

    (setq dashboard-items '((recents  . 5)
                            (hackernews . 7)
                            (agenda . 5)
                            ))

This results in recents and agenda appearing with a blank gap in between them, where hackernews should have been. I was also unable to find many other users using this package. Would it be safe to assume this package is currently broken? Or does this work for other anyone?

;; use-package with package.el:
(use-package dashboard
:ensure t
:config
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook))
(setq dashboard-items '((recents . 5)
(bookmarks . 5)
(projects . 5)
(agenda . `5)
(registers . 5)
(hackernews . 10)))

(use-package dashboard-hackernews)

(require 'dashboard-hackernews)
