Suggestion: Use non-terminal Emacs

[psamim]

Hi!

Actually I do what you have done here in a slightly different way. I export my agenda in non-terminal Emacs to an SVG file. So it contains all the fancy category icons. Then I use the exported SVG file as my homepage. I use this function to export it and here is the final result. My method has the advantage of having icons.

But the method used here, using tmux, has its own advantages. I mean I could not find a way to do my export headless and create a cron job for it. The idea here to use tmux and a shell script to export the agenda and then quit Emacs is really nice. I manually open Emacs and run the export function which blocks Emacs for a few seconds.

Sorry that this is not a real rigorous suggestion. I thought maybe bringing it up here could lead to some new ideas.

Thanks

I did this using xvfb-run here: https://github.com/psamim/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/sync-agenda-svg
