Wow. I guess I was wrong when I said that we have well and truly enough #Obsidian how-to tutorials out there. Either that or this person doesn’t have the faintest idea how to google properly.
@dhry@Mollarom like @masi said, it's infiniatly configurable. And especially for those of us who work with text constantly it's an amazing cross section of tooling that can be used within a single environment.
Sure pkm, notes. But also publishing to html, latex, docx, pdf, markdown, jira, confluence. Using llms. Email. Mastodon. Matrix. Version control. And nearly all of that easily funnels right into org-mode which also has functionality for project and todo management ...
@harish@jameshowell@dhry@masi@Mollarom Beauty is subjective but I have ~80 capture templates most frequently I type SPC ocdwll (SPC is spacemacs leader, o is custom binding, then c for capture d daily w work l log log). It's pretty darn quick even if it looks like a lot of keystrokes, it's faster than mousing.
In my "play time" with #Obsidian as an #orgmode user I haven't felt like I trust this app for many reasons. One is that I have installed too many plugins and now it’s overly complicated/bloated - I don't even want to open it. Time to dumb it back down and if it still doesn't stick then keep using #orgmode. The only reason I've been testing it out is a desire for a better iOS experience with my notes.
@greg ah, on Android I don't recall it costing. I did pay for it at one time. Still try from time to time, but I stick with orgzly mostly. Not perfect at all but serviceable.
@greg there is much to be desired. But, it's workable. I keep it simple, one file per mobile device. I then I'll refile into my org-roam. Orgzly isn't useful for accessing that imho.
Hey #PKM people, as it seems fashionable here to humblebrag by posting screenshots of graphs: What exactly are the benefits of a graph view? Aren't bi-directional links just simpler and thus more effective?
@ledaj@gisiger I have yet to use the graph in org-roam-ui for anything beyond entertainment and a general birds eye view of clusters of related things. I share because it might encourage someone to try emacs org-mode. I do think that it could be a fun and useful way for someone else to access my notes.
Sascha's latest post about actual deep work with the Zettelkasten, and how you can find out whether you are operating on surface level solutions while the actual problem lie in the ways you process ideas and tackle problems.
Currently I have 57M' of .org files in ~/org. That's 5005' files and 1205964' lines of text, the largest single file is 1.3M' and the longest lined file has 26370' lines. 4835' are inside org-roam, the majority (`3655') are "dailies".
Tried out mu4e and found it more comfortable than neomutt I've been using for years. Being a Vimer, I'm starting to realize that Emacs really rocks. #emacs#mailclients
Today I spontaneously went on the empty #ArtAndPlay stage on #37C3, plugged in my laptop & started to silently demo #Emacs#orgmode to the surrounding people in full-screen so that people were not able to realize which tool I'm using.
I demoed the syntax (lists, tables, ...), spreadsheet functions, export to PDF & docx, task headings, bi-directional links, task dependencies, babel, PlantUML integration, ...
After a while, people started to come to me on stage and asked me what tool that is. 😃
@oantolin@publicvoit well, they can be useful when doing archeology. You can more easily find and navigate to related notes. With some capture templates some of these links will be to an unrelated note, a note you were in when you decided to start this new capture. So this can really surface interesting things, at least it has for me. A
@publicvoit@mykhaylo the comments in the reddit thread seemed to indicate the issue is specific to symmetric encryption. My impression is it also wouldn't affect encrypted headings in org.
Currently I have 56M' of .org files in ~/org. That's 4847' files and 1176507' lines of text, the largest single file is 1.3M' and the
longest lined file has 26370' lines. 4675' are inside org-roam, the
majority (`3527') are "dailies".
@publicvoit Absolutely. I struggled for some time with multi-megabyte org files causing performance issues. org-roam helped me to avoid this by facilitating daily files. Now my largest daily work file is 716K, one of only ~20 that are > 100K.
