I’d be curious of tips from anyone on how they use to manage notes when there’s lots of media like images.

@joshourisman @petrillic @greg I use org attach for images. Some documents I org-attach-use-inheritance otherwise it creates an ID on the node if necessary and stores the file based on that.

Are many people running the emacs 30 apk on android?

@evgandr @dekkzz76 yeah, that's why I carry a keyboard to connect to my phone.🤓

@hajovonta @evgandr @dekkzz76 I use emacs via termux and it really does work quite well, provided a real keyboard. It's a bit tedious using on screen.

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 ...

This is the way.

@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.

@amadeus emacs org-mode with org-roam for notes, tasks, and so much more. I use Orgzly on Android with syncthing.

In my "play time" with as an 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 . The only reason I've been testing it out is a desire for a better iOS experience with my notes.

@greg did you try metanote on ios?

nickanderson,
@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@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.

nickanderson,
@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@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 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?

I'm genuinely interested, so educate me, please.

nickanderson,
@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@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.

candide, to Logseq

I've been using since 2021, have been an Open Collective supporter for almost 2 yrs, and even built my thesis project on top of the app.

Unfortunately, I think I've reached the end of the road with it. I've suffered some pretty massive because of the paid .

@candide you could perhaps use syncthing instead of Logseqsync. I use it with emacs orgmode with good success.

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".

@publicvoit it gives me pretty pictures. I use it mostly as a shiny thing to attract others.

It's not an important part of my workflow at all. It takes minutes to load in browser. I can find my notes way faster in other ways.

But, it does provide an interesting view of how my notes relate. I can view the content of notes while exploring the graph.

publicvoit, to emacs

Today I spontaneously went on the empty stage on , plugged in my laptop & started to silently demo 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. 😃

nickanderson,
@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@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

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.

@skybert @VikingKong Yah, emacs is great. I can't get by without evil, but it's also quite great.
