Okay here's another Transient I've made a while back, in this case for Avy. A bit esoteric, but this has enabled me to get a lot more out of Avy than just using avy-goto-word-1 or avy-goto-char-timer. Wondering out loud if I should publish this on MELPA.

Also yes, I've read Karthik's post on using Avy wrong. I readily admit I'm not sophisticated enough to put filter-select-act into practice.

@kickingvegas frankly I don’t think that putting transients on MELPA is a good idea. It’s not really a library, rather a use case of a library.

@mykhaylo Perhaps. OTOH, one could argue that libraries are just code where somebody else makes a decision. Transients posted on MELPA are just decisions already made for users who want them. So what's wrong with that? Not everybody wants to write Elisp.

@kickingvegas
I think there's demand for them, these transients make life easier for many users, because it makes features more easily accessible.

I agree it wouldn't be a necessarily good thing to have transient libraries for the same packages though. I guess MELPA admins are aware of that.

@hajovonta @kickingvegas sure they are a great idea. I just don’t think they should be on MELPA, but admins will figure it out.
