  <b>Helm</b> is an Emacs framework for incremental completions and narrowing
  selections. It provides an easy-to-use API for developers wishing to build
  their own Helm applications in Emacs, powerful search tools and dozens of
  already built-in commands providing completion to almost everything.
  It is a must-have for anyone using Emacs as a main work environment.
  Helm has been widely adopted by many Emacs power-users.
  It is available in Melpa and can be easily installed from the Emacs package manager.

  Maintaining Helm requires a <a href="https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/commits?author=thierryvolpiatto"><b>lot of work</b></a>,
  which I have done voluntarily since 2011.<br>
  As it demands lots of my time it gets increasingly difficult<br>
  maintaining it without financial help.<br>
  Thanks to all the people that are helping or have helped Helm development,<br>
  but they are actually too few to continue serenely.<br>
  By the way, after the release of version 3.0 I will have to stop<br>
  developing Helm seriously until I get enough financial support,<br>
  only providing a minimal bugfix maintenance.<br>
  Thanks for your understanding<br>
  If you feel Helm is making your daily work easier,<br>
  <b>please consider making a donation.</b><br>
