Using Denote for Email: A manual workflow: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/26/using-denote-for-email-a.html
Denote wasn’t built for email, but since I’m tired of Apple Mail for long emails, a quick manual copy-paste solves the problem. It’s not a sophisticated workflow, but it works.

@minad I will add my two cents as soon as I have some time. The short version: having all data directly in the filesystem also has some advantages - especially in terms of access and reliability. Performance issues and reliability of orgroam were often connected to sqlite. For the popular #Denote (and my rather unknown orgrr :) the absence of a database is a feature. I wonder what the main benefits of an sqlite #Elfeed are.

Since I've been using it for nearly a year(!), I thought it was about time I wrote some notes on how I now also use the #denote-sequence #emacs package to group related posts on my #sphinx powered blog.

Is there built-in functionality for transcluding headings from an Org file, specifically ones marked with TODO?
I have an Org file that I use to list action items. How I break up work is by only marking headings with
TODOif I want to work on them for the day or week (marking everything in the file asTODOwould result in a buffer of noise, losing out on contextual cues). Because of how my ADHD works, I really need these items to consistently show up in some routine or process I've already established so they stay in the foreground of "shit I need to be working on".Right now, that already-established process in Emacs is by making use of denote-journal so every day I start all my writing, rough drafts, notes, and so on in a daily Org/denote-journal file.
I'm thinking a good workflow might be that when I open my daily journal, it gets populated with TODO entries from another file. It'd be extra nice if there was some way to do the transclusion without it effectively hard-copying/duplicating the headings from another Org file.

maybe I'm tired and I forget some basics -
How do I tell denote in emacs to search for a term (say "linux") but NOT from my blog folder?
usual usage is with consult-denote-find, I want to have it ignore anything from the blog folder temporarily.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/115702384637059415
I have and really enjoyed it. Some really good advice (some of which I already follow e.g. starting with a link).
Thank you @ctietze for taking the time to put the talk and slides together. 🙏

I think #denote is going to change the way I work after ~40 years of thinking in terms of directories and folders.
