#orgroam — Public Fediverse posts

There is a lot going for #Obsidian in terms of UI performance and UX niceties, but one thing keeps pulling me back to #DoomEmacs and #OrgRoam: laser focused keyboard oriented setup out of the box

I can move subtrees around quicker than I can think.

(or I could if #Emacs didn't freeze up for 30 seconds randomly. oh well, can't have it all. any by "it all" i mean "widespread adoption of async UI patterns in your favorite editor".)

What made YOU switch from org-roam to denote?

#OrgRoam #Denote #Emacs

Pour votre wiki personnel offline first, vous êtes plutôt quoi, #orgRoam, #denote, #zettlr, notepad #txt ?

#emacs #neovim #wiki #bbq

I used to take a lot of notes on #keep or #evernote which included picture. For instance, take a picture of a place or a presentation and add some notes.

Now that I'm moving to #emacs and #orgmode + #orgroam I'm wondering if someone has a workflow for doing this.

1/2

#iwlwifi broke after a recent NixOS upgrade (firmware/kernel issue, not really distro-specific), but being forced #offline finally got me to work on my #OrgRoam memex. :neofox_uwu:
Linked a bunch of lonely nodes together.
Once I got the network back online I even wrote some #Elisp to replace old link that point to files with UUID ones.
And yeah, I needed a search engine for that, because the built-in docs for #Emacs - while often handy - are lacking in examples and assume a bit too much up-front knowledge. I'm still not sure what the heck org-element-context returns and why I should need a special function to index it. Say what you will about the complexity of #JavaScript or #Python, having built-in data types for lists, sets, and maps makes it a lot easier to poke at data.
But at least I could hack together about half of it from offline sources.

One issue that surprised me is that default setup for editing ELisp in #DoomEmacs is still not entirely user friendly. Lots of things work out of the box, which is really cool, but some simple things like automatic indentation are not really consistent.
When I saved the file, it got reformatted in a way that broke its structure.
When I tried to de-indent a line, it deleted too much whitespace, instead of just going back a single level, so I had to use C-x TAB, which is unnecessarily many keystrokes for such a common operation.

All in all, I'm impressed at how productive I can be with it and I hope that the jankiness will be less of an issue once I've gained some Elisp experience.

How do you create and keep your non-task knowledge snippets with OrgMode?

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. 🙏

@Lambo #emacs #orgmode #orgroam #orgbabel what else does one need?! :D

'Scuse the mess. I've got CS50 notes and LoFi Girl music mirrored on the TV, writing in org Roam in Spacemacs on my Linux Framework12 and a pomo going.

What other geek nonsense am I missing? 🤣

My dear personal knowledge base managers, how do you group/split your notes?

Let me explain.

1. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" a note where we have everything about Python syntax (variable definition, functions, classes, if/else, for, etc.).

Or

2. We have a note "Python" and links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Or maybe

3. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" note that has links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Now I'm thinking about how to make it comfortable to search/read it in the future.

I should have moved to org-re-reveal sooner. It helped me eliminate a bunch of my own #redundant #elisp #functions for formatting the title page of a #slidedeck.

Coincidentally, I should have reread the #orgroam #manual sooner, so I could have eliminated a bunch of my own redundant elisp functions related to capture #templates earlier than today.

Sure, we’d all like to get better faster, but sometimes the impetus is just not there until an appropriate task arrives.

I'm dinking around with my emacs config, but I swear I'm actually getting something done here, this will improve my ability to link notes I'm taking... but seriously I want to be able to easily just say, okay, here's the arxiv URL, add it to the bibliography, download the paper into this folder, and now i'm taking notes. #emacs #orgmode #orgroam #roam #org

I'm currently moving from #orgroam ( #emacs ) to #obsidian,
And here I have recorded a video comparing the #Graph View with the #ORUI (org-roam-ui) one.

I really think the dev team should #enhance it, and the good part is that the org-roam-ui code is #FOSS, so they can really use it as a reference!

I think the graph to be one of the most useful things on Obsidian, unfortunately needs a bit of rework in my opinion 🙂

@peaoPerdido

I use nextcloud davx as the transport, #orgzly has a URL to my #emacs #orgmode folder, and then, since I use #orgroam I have a node that syncs my 2-way edits via tangle.

Little things in #PKM have a way of multiplying.

I added a note about reinstalling the #FreePlane #GTD+ plugin https://docs.freeplane.org/getting-started/Add-ons_(install).html#freeplanegtd-1 to my #OrgRoam INBOX only to discover "GTD" wasn't in my personal dictionary in #Emacs. To synchronize between devices and apps a separate SwypeWords.md also had to be updated along with adding that link to my shared bookmarks file...

@joaofelipe18 @FediFollows

The downside is adding from my phone. I use #orgzly that I replicate with #nextcloud via #apache on an RPI5, #owncloud is also good. In #orgroam I have the orgzly mirror tumbled into a bookmarked page where I periodically relocate notes not needed on my phone.

I DREAM of the day all of my notes are on only MY server, and only MY phone could access them. This is my compromise.

@ctietze yes, it _is_ obvious to have a preview for mass text edit replacements. This is one of many reasons why I dumped #Emacs for #jEdit ~20 years ago.

Unfortunately, jEdit never became a full Emacs replacement, but close enough, and plenty of others since that have improved the art.

I've only recently re-adopted Emacs for #OrgRoam and it has been deeply frustrating. At best Emacs is an editor toolkit, and org-roam a #PKM toolkit, but I am persistent.

@mostalive I also use #orgzly on my phone that gets sync'd via #Nextcloud and then imported to #Emacs #orgroam using a transclude

#+transclude: [[file:~/Nextcloud/Documents/orgzly/Notes.org][Notes]]

Sorry for the delay @ctietze !
Have recorded a short sample, but apart from being cool, I do not find it very ready just yet.. it is very slow and lacks some of the 2D functionalities... there's an option to add text on every node, but crashes on my computer, and it is quite modern... also, the labels inside the node, make it unreadable...

Just discovered the #3D mode of #ORUI ( org-roam-ui of #emacs )!
#MindBoggling :blobcataww:

I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:

Do you also use #orgRoam ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:

There‘s an interesting trifecta of sorts emerging in #ToolsForThought apps:
- you have your own thoughts, with your own associations- #Obsidian, #Logseq, #orgroam etc
- you have your own thoughts, with automatic associations - #MemAI, #Napkin
- you have the thoughts others expressed, with automatic associations - #MemAI, #mymind, #Lazy.so

There‘s two sliding scales - how much you explicit associations, and how much you work within your own thoughts versus driving off others (social thinking

@alxlg also honestly, being able to administrate *any* and all files via a pkm tool would be extremely awesome. Tools like #DevonThink and #TagSpaces or theBrain with their ability to manage other files (and #orgRoam with its reference nodes) meet parts of an itch I keep having about being unable to extend the ressources links and associations beyond my motes. I would really love to be able to deep-reference and see in graph view these things, see and manage metadata etc

3. #CODE in #BASB stands for (C)apture, (O)rganize, (D)istill and (Express). All my knowledge I capture into #orgroam through capture templates. This allows quick capturing of thoughts and ideas and will put it into my "inbox" of thoughts, which is just a tag in #orgroam. Creating a few templates for your regular use cases already helps a lot. See: https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html#The-Templating-System

@credmp Yes, often :D, me too!

I dunno that I am organized (or disciplined?) enough to follow someone else's acronym like PARA, CODE, or ACCESS.

But so far, nothing like that has yet worked for me. I keep trying things but I kind of have my own SHIT (Stuff here 'n there). When I see enough of the same type of things I try to pile them near each other and build something that funnels those similar things into those piles automatically.

This is the way.

#Emacs #orgmode #orgroam #pkm #basb

Ever think about building a second brain #basb with #emacs ? I use #orgroam and #orgmode to do just that. Stick around to learn just how I do it!

Great write up covering a workflow optimized by #orgmode #orgroam #orgbabel #emacs
https://wmealing.github.io/emacs-org-babel-analysis.html

I created a PR that prevents node title completion from happening in #OrgBabel source blocks when using #OrgRoam with =org-roam-completion-everywhere= set to =t=.

Fixing one of my biggest annoyances just in time for me to wonder "Do I prefer auto completion or do I prefer more manual tab complete"... really feeling like an #Emacs user :D

@randomgeek @kaushalmodi Alternatively, check out #OrgRoam with the #ORUI interface. This is what I'm using right now as an "external brain", and it's awesome.
