* Introduction
The following applications are not really needed. I alternate between trying to /stay in Emacs/ taking advantage of the consistent interface, and simply using a stand-alone app on my Workday computer.
* Twitter
The venerable [[https://github.com/hayamiz/twittering-mode/tree/master][twittering-mode]] allows me to follow all the twits.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package twittering-mode
    :init
    (setq twittering-use-master-password t
          epa-pinentry-mode 'loopback)
    :config
    (defalias 'epa--decode-coding-string 'decode-coding-string)
    (ha-leader "a t" '("twitter" . twit)))
#+END_SRC
* Telega
I'm thinking the [[https://zevlg.github.io/telega.el/][Telega package]] would be better than Bitlbee for Telegram communication. Seems to have a bug on the Melpa version, so I'm keeping this to the =HEAD=, but only if I've cloned it.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (when (file-exists-p "~/other/telega.el")
    (use-package telega
      :straight (:local-repo "~/other/telega.el")
      :commands (telega)
      :init
      (setq telega-use-images nil)
      :config
      (ha-leader "a T" 'telega)))
#+END_SRC
For some reason, you need [[https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-identifiers][rainbow-identifiers]] to work, oh, I guess the docs state this.
* RPG DM
Been working on a project for getting Emacs helping as a /Dungeon Master's Assistant/, and I must say, it is coming along nicely. In case you are reading this, let me know, and I'll start to share it.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (when (f-directory? "~/other/rpgdm")
    (use-package rpgdm
      :straight (:local-repo "~/other/rpgdm")
      :commands (rpgdm-mode rpgdm-tables-load)
      :init (setq rpgdm-base (expand-file-name "~/other/rpgdm"))
      :config (ha-leader "t D" '("rpg dm" . rpgdm-mode))))
#+END_SRC
And my new Ironsworn project:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (when (f-directory? "~/other/emacs-ironsworn")
    (use-package rpgdm-ironsworn
      :after rpgdm
      :straight (:local-repo "~/other/emacs-ironsworn")
      :init
      (setq rpgdm-ironsworn-project (expand-file-name "~/other/emacs-ironsworn"))))
#+END_SRC

Let's =provide= a name so we can =require= this file:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
  (provide 'ha-aux-apps)
  ;;; ha-aux-apps.el ends here
  #+END_SRC
