An Improved Emacs Search
This is a good improvement. Personally though I left isearch behind. For further search convenience / functionality I highly recommend swiper.

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Next you "only" have to remember (elisp) function names. "Completion UIs" like ivy/counsel, icomplete, helm or vertico/consult, give you a nice auto completion list on M-x (choose the one of them, you like the most). Some of those Completion UIs will display existing keybindings and a short documentation for commands, near the auto complete candidates. So you will start to remember more keybindings without "learning sessions", just because invoking functions via keybindings is much faster (more convenient).

What packages do the cool kids use these days?
Proposal 4 (group-function). This one is an actual addition, which allows candidate gouping in the style of Helm. Note that it is a pure addition. Completion UIs and completion packages work perfectly fine without it. It wouldn't be difficult to add support to Ivy. I wrote the patch.

How to Make Emacs Look Cooler with Simple Customization
For the unfamiliar, Swiper is a part of Ivy which lets you search through your buffer with a preview of match candidates: you type some text you're looking for, and up pops a list of matching lines in the minibuffer that you can then use the arrow keys, C-n C-p etc. to scroll through and select the one you want.

Replacing packages with more "stripped down" packages
When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

macOS DWIM "Open with" command (ok, last one for a while)
Ah, neat. I hadn't considered appending comments for searchability. I'm currently getting searchabiity from M-x dwim-... and ivy completion.

How do you take book notes?
Great question. I have one big file with a few hundreds book and quotations from them. Problem is with newlines. When I copy text from kindle it doesn't have newlines because it's depends on font size. So every quotation from book is on one line - could be few thousands chars. I use visual-line-mode and there is a big problem with that. Like swiper would just freeze your emacs if you try to search. https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/issues/925 Anyone have same problem?

note-taking without org roam.
Then hit C-' (that's apostrophe, left of enter on US keyboards). Preferably with something like [ivy][https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper] set up so you can see what it's trying to autocomplete for you- it should be suggesting all of your org 'notebooks' in the targeted folder, as well as any buffers you have open.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
- https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-pl... - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself.
- https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).
- https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.
- https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.
- https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.
- https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.
- https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox
- https://github.com/xenodium/ob-swiftui - Play around with SwiftUI layouts from the comfort of my preferd editor.
- https://github.com/xenodium/company-org-block - Org block completion.
- https://xenodium.com - I tend to scratch own itches and post my solutions here.

More advanced emacs tutorials
A fairly friction-free one that keeps on giving is a package I wrote (dwim-shell-command) to make it easy to apply shell commands to single or multiple dired files or current buffer, without really having to think about the command itself.

Joining images from the comfort of dired
I took two pictures (front and back) of a product. I wanted a single picture with front and back side to side. Not something I'll need frequently, but I'll never need to look this up again (now have my own command). With dwim-shell-command it's easy to add.

Tesseract integration
Basic command line utility integrations are pretty simple with dwim-shell-command.

Taking screenshots or videos (gifs) of any macOS window
Will write it up at some point... tl;dr built macosrec (command-line utility) and hooked it up to Emacs via dwim-shell-command. I'm trialing the following bindings:
