  1. Playing around with org-kanban-agenda as a medium to discuss specific topics with my customers.

    Context: I track all tasks, ideas, observations, projects in orgmode... everything!

    Idea: There are a lot of 1:1 meetings with clients where I would love to visualize and enrich our common tasks and ideas directly in orgmode,
    without

    • confuse them with to much text information
    • showing them non-relevant or sensitive information
    • export the orgmode content to another format for the meeting + importing afterwards to orgmode again

    Current workflow:

    1. Usage of tags like personA/ for all things I track about/for personA
    2. Usage of additional 1:1 tags like @personA (=> I want to discuss and show these notes/tasks during the 1:1). This is ~a subset of the same tag without '@'
    3. Visualization of @personA relevant tasks with org-kanban-agenda  (filter set to @personA) during 1:1, including live updates directly in orgmode with shared screen: https://easyorgmode.com/docs/org-kanban-board *
    4. regular Excel export of the kanban view into the clients system as static documentation (this time with org-kanban and built-in CSV export with a custom lisp function to receive pure (link-free) text)

    *org-kanban is another good alternative to generate dynamic kanban with classic org-table layout: https://github.com/gizmomogwai/org-kanban . I'm still evaluating both kanban options to find the best for my case.

    Questions for you:

    1. Do you use anything similar to take advantage of orgmode live usage with others?
    2. Any ideas and suggestion?

  2. I would like to propose a simple alternative for announcing your Emacs Carnival article: publish one post in your social.org with the tag emacs-carnival, and you are in. Submissions can then be read from any Org Social client, a JSON API or RSS. No endpoints, no extra software.

    I explain it here:

  4. That was fast!

    On 2026-07-02, I opened a feature request for #jabberEl to support syntax highlighting for code snippets like #Gajim and #Prose.

    codeberg.org/emacs-jabber/emac

    On the same day, developers agreed in the group chat, that it was easy to implement in the same way as #orgmode does it.

    On 2026-07-05, the feature has been committed to git master by Thanos Apollo.

    Thanks!

  6. I finally have a fantastic, multi-machine-friendly, phone-friendly, calendar view unifying system (so @KNS can see in her calendar) that uses emacs org-mode as my source of record. Updates are reflected very quickly. #emacs #orgmode #orgmode4life

    P.S. The ability to share arbitrary calendar slices for availability with others to request slots will be there soon.

  8. Anju v1.8.0 update now available on MELPA (melpa.org/#/anju) with feature additions like "Copy Link Address…" for Org links. More significant is implementation clarity for context menus with regards to managing the current cursor (point) and where the menu is raised. Their "feel" is vastly improved IMHO.

  10. Egads, I am #nerding hard with this #Emacs #orgmode #hamradio #contest #logging idea.

    Core idea: type in only what you need and have the 'puter fill in the boring stuff when you use the magic keybinding. Then export to Cabrillo or ADIF.

    No, I don't expect to displace any serious contest loggers. I'm trying to exercise the unreasonable power of plain text. Maybe some post-contest slicing and dicing functions will appear later.

  12. Just discovered one can insert a link in an org-mode file to an info node

    ```
    [[info:emacs#Debuggers][Running Debuggers Under Emacs]]
    ```

    How cool is that, I can now know easily link to the wealth of `*info*` I have on my system.

    I wonder if there is a way to do this with devdocs.el (github.com/astoff/devdocs.el/i)

    #emacs #info #orgmode

  14. My Emacs Setup for notetaking.
    With Doom Emacs and Okular.

  15. Yo soy un señoro grande que usa #emacs y #orgmode para sus notas, pero @futo hizo una app de notas:
    Rápida
    Privada
    Local first
    Para los jovenes de hoy. Siempre mejor #emacs, pero sino notes.futo.tech/ es una buena alternativa youtube.com/watch?v=Hb5-DLMGVFg

  17. Auf Anregung von @publicvoit habe ich mal versucht, meinen Workflow von #Logseq auf #Orgmode umzubauen.

    Der erste Ansatz mit org-roam sah vielversprechend aus. Aber schon nach kurzer Zeit überwiegen die Nachteile. Siehe karl-voit.at/2020/06/14/Zettel

    Wenn ich aber org-roam weglasse, verliere ich andere Funktionalität. Insgesamt fühlt es sich im Moment nach nervigem Vor-und-Zurück an, um das zu erreichen, was ich bei Logseq habe und schätze.

    Mal sehen, wie die Reise weiter geht …

  19. Es gibt immer etwas zu notieren:
    vor ein paar Tagen wieder #emacs installiert und an einer älteren init.el herumgebastelt. #rabbithole !
    Schaffe es nicht #orgmode nur zu benutzen ohne mir Gedanken über Strukturen zu machen.
    Schreibe Notizen zu Büchern, Linux, Websites, ToDo's, Ideen.
    Frage an euch: Mehrere org-Dateien anlegen (nach Thema) oder alles in eine Datei? Mein Problem ist das Wiederfinden von Notizen.
    Bin ansonsten ein Freund von #joplin das ist für mich überschaubarer. Aber besser...?

  20. Dear #orgmode community: I once read about a method to "embed" content from a different heading so that I don't have to duplicate content.

    E.g., when I want to include/preview/embed two paragraphs from a particular heading somewhere else in my Org hierarchy. Maybe even in a different Orgdown file? 🤔

    Unfortunately, I didn't add this package to my notes. Do you have an idea what I could have stumbled upon?
