StackExchange for Emacs is exactly what it sounds like.

After authenticating and loading sx-tab-topvoted emacs, I see a buffer of question headings.

  46   3 Are there any advantages to using ~/.emacs.d/init.el instead of ~/.emacs?

  37   6 How can I use Emacs to edit questions, answers, and comments here? 
         4d ago [major-mode] [integration] 
  34   4 What are the practical differences between the various Emacs Package Repositories?
         32d ago [package] [package-repositories]
  ...

That one looks interesting. I move point over the second question and press RET to View question.

Once I do that, I can see the question header, but not the question body or any of the answers.

Full contents of buffer:

    What version of emacs are you running and how did you install `sx.el`? There is a known problem when installing on 24.4 via `package.el`. – Sean Allred Dec 18 '14 at 17:38

    I don't know sx.el, but do you know StackOverflowSearch(sos.el) ? you type a query and have all the results in an org-mode buffer ! https://github.com/omouse/emacs-sos – Ehvince Dec 19 '14 at 09:27
  • @Ehvince That is pretty nifty :) We're hoping to incorporate search in the coming weeks, but things are hectic :) – Sean Allred Dec 20 '14 at 07:51

This is a bug in your version of sx. It has since been fixed.

    @SeanAllred: as an aside, is `sx` now far enough along to be useable day-to-day? – Dan Dec 18 '14 at 21:24

    @Dan Day-to-day: absolutely. The only major hindrance right now is tagging new questions, but I haven't had time to finish the branch that would really allow that recently. See [#137](https://github.com/vermiculus/sx.el/issues/137). For commenting and answering questions, you should be golden :) – Sean Allred Dec 18 '14 at 21:33

    @Dan I'd say the lack of an inbox is the only real issue right now. Tagging new questions, as Sean mentioned, is a bit annoying because there's no completion yet. – Malabarba Dec 19 '14 at 01:39
