+I like having ivy in a popup.
+Problem: posframe does not work if emacs is too old and on macos.
+See here: https://github.com/tumashu/posframe/issues/30
+On Mac, ~brew install --HEAD emacs~ doesn't work either.
+Solution: ~brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head && brew install emacs-head@28 --with-cocoa~

 In org mode, I want to use bullets instead of stars, so I also install ~org-bullets~.
