Using lobste.rs node with Emacs

First, clone this repo somewhere. A good place might be ~/code/node/lobste.rs.

git clone https://github.com/medimatrix/lobste.rs-node.git ~/code/node/lobste.rs

Then, create a file called lobsters.el in your ~/.emacs.d folder.

Put the following inside it:

(defun lobsters ()
  (interactive)
  (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*lobsters*"
    (switch-to-buffer "*lobsters*")
    (insert
     (shell-command-to-string "node ~/code/node/lobste.rs/example.js"))))

(provide 'lobsters)

Finally, add (require 'lobsters "~/.emacs.d/lobsters.el") to your emacs config file.

You can run the function using M-x lobsters.
