How to Sell a Kettle
Summary
How to Sell a Kettle is a reflective essay by Andros Fenollosa arguing that Emacs can function as a Lispboard—a cohesive, cross‑platform workspace built on Lisp. The piece explores integrating terminals, email, code editing, and other tools inside a single Emacs environment, including Lisp scripting and UI widgets, to illustrate a workflow where everything shares a common runtime. It contrasts this Lispboard approach with a browser-centric model and emphasizes ownership, customization, and the ongoing process of building your own tools.
