Show HN: Emacs Anywhere

Awesome. I have one suggestion though: the project description could be easier to understand.

I wouldn't understand anything without the screenshot altho I use Emacs for 11 years. Imagine beginners reading it...

What should it read? I’m open to any suggestions.

I found the description pretty good, but maybe an extra 'headline' might be helpful:

What it does: Use emacs to input text in any program at any time

How it work: A keyboard shortcut of your choosing...

Prefer to use Emacs to edit text? Now you can use it anywhere. Press a keyboard shortcut of your choice, and a new Emacs frame (window) will be opened. After you’re done, just save and the text will be inserted in the original input box.
