I'm one of the maintainers of Hammerspoon.

For some context, this is a fork of an app that's been posted to HN before - Mjolnir. We wanted to take things in a slightly more integrated direction than sdegutis, so we are building on his excellent work and branching out on our own. Massive kudos to him for giving us a solid starting point!

Happy to answer questions, here or on #hammerspoon (Freenode), or deal with any github issues you care to file :)

It's an interesting project for sure. I especially like being able to manipulate Finder menus with this.

For someone using Slate (js) that has also read your docs, I'm not sure what you mean by more integrated. Could you elaborate on the use of that word?

Mjolnir takes a very minimalist approach, you install the main app, then install luarocks and pull in all the plug-in modules with that. We wanted to ship as many modules as we could, with the app, so it would be more immediately useful out of the box. (there are other changes Hammerspoon has made, but that is probably the largest)
Great, thanks for the explanation!
