denote VS nroam

Where I define shortcuts for different action p for project actions (Pressing SPC - p opens project actions) , n for denote and so on. And for denote for example I do something like this:

The denote page is here, https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote , and the code can be acquired on github https://github.com/protesilaos/denote

So, if you want to contribute to bringing the signature feature to the main branch, you can work with it for a while and relay your experience and use cases to the discussion on github.

Yesterday, somebody found out that filetags do share some similarities with Prot's denote which is discussed here: https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/117 You might want to read that as well. I added a comment with a few remarks how I'm using the concept within Emacs Org mode.

I am in the same boat. I have never been able to shake the feeling that org-roam is unnecessarily complex and reinvents the wheel a bunch; which might or might not be true, but for all my use cases so far, I haven't needed/used a feature that warrants so many moving pieces. I have a todo item to move my notes from org-roam to denote instead, which I am eyeing for its apparent simplicity.

Try denote. I use it a lot, Im happy with it.

The GitHub for it is here: https://github.com/protesilaos/denote

I'm not sure if you are aware of the denote package brewing right now! https://github.com/protesilaos/denote

Another possible option is to use a Books hub, similar to the previous option, but use something like https://github.com/NicolasPetton/nroam to display these links in the main buffer, rather than looking at the backlinks buffer.
