Prompt buffer: an overpowered user experience
Have you ever felt frustrated using a popular browser when you couldn't do something as simple as "close all Wikipedia tabs" or "download all pictures on this page"?
This frustration is behind one of the fundamental ideas that gave birth to Nyxt: provide the user with a powerful, non-limiting interactive experience. The UI (user interface) should never get in the way. Quite the opposite, actually, it should empower the user by allowing them to quickly search, filter and process anything, from web page content to UI elements.
We didn't want to repeat Emacs' mistake: its original "prompt" is so limited that it couldn't contain the frustration of its power users. This gave birth to a flock of alternative prompts, from Helm to Ivy. Because of this, the Emacs community is now split between various interfaces, with loads of extensions that only work with one but not the other.
By providing an original framework that strives at being as powerful and flexible as possible, we hope to satisfy all possible needs and keep the community stuck together with a consistent user experience.
