This is great! I can barely remember my editor/IDE days before Emacs. I mean there was nano, pico, vi, vim, Gedit, and on to Eclipse, but Emacs was the only one that allowed me to work the way that I think.

I can remember my days before emacs, it was about six months of vi back in 1990. Been emacs ever since :)

I don't know much about imgix, looks like a service to add to or possibly enhance images? Demo looks neat though! I do use emacs as an asset browser for quick looks at images to verify content in web apps, but I'm not sure I'd use something like this personally.

Ha! In my early days of computing, when we had to walk to school uphill both ways, 5 miles in the snow, going from punch cards in 1977 to line editors was fantastic, I first used original "ed" in 1978, with it's one error message of "?" (it was developed in the days when 110 baud Teletype terminals put an extreme premium on every character typed and printed), some random ones in micros, then EMACS was a fantastic improvement in 1979-80. And I haven't looked back.
