Offical BBS client for Emacs

(1.1) By cashmere on 2026-08-24 00:25:08 edited from 1.0 [source]

bbs-ui.el

We now have the first BBS client for Emacs. Expect some bugs.

Source

Plugin distribution is still being figured out. For now, the source code is available here:

View bbs-ui.el on GitHub

Installation

Download bbs-ui.el, place it in your Emacs load-path, and add the following configuration:

(use-package textui
  :ensure (:host github :repo "yibie/textui" :files ("*.el")))

(use-package bbs-ui
  :ensure nil
  :after textui
  :commands (bbs bbs-open)
  :custom
  ;; Replace this with the path to your local Fossil clone.
  (bbs-ui-repository-file
   (expand-file-name "~/path/to/bbs.fossil"))
  (bbs-ui-web-base-url "https://bbs.copland.systems")
  (bbs-ui-pull-on-open nil))

[!IMPORTANT] Before launching bbs-ui.el, make sure you have followed the Quick Setup.

Launch the client with:

M-x bbs
