emacs-calfw VS delve

Calfw is nice, but doesn't support recurrent events, which may be a deal-breaker. https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/8 (it was for me).

I want to say I wanted to do something like this, and the response I got was you can't, or try https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw

You might be interested in https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw but be aware that there is no row-centric view as described on https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/22 which I pity.

I use org-caldav with emacs-calfw.

I've summarized my thoughts on https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/22 but the author did not find time to address this since 2015. Maybe somebody wants to hand in a patch for that to reduce stress for the author?

Emacs Calendar Framework! https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/

Not sure what you mean on the first one. The second one's easiest solution is probably org-transclusion as what you're asking is to translude notes. But other packages with a similar concept of collecting your notes and adding them in a separate buffer are things such as delve or (shameless self plug) zetteldesk. I got no clue how to do the third one. I agree with you on that todos should work in more places, but I also don't know how to fix it. For the one with the calendar, I am pretty sure calfw has an extension that does that. I think calfw-org?

for just viewing, maybe calfw would do the trick

Take a look at calfw. It's not exactly what you want, but might be of interest.

I am at the moment trying to turn my Kindle into a calendar device, and settled on using the excellent calfw from kiwanami -- but yours would look waaay better, mostly because the event names have a good horizontal space.

Don't think I've seen a package that you're referring to, but maybe delve could be a substitute?

I think maybe folks are misunderstanding what you mean by 5. I recall that notion automatically generates tables for you based on some content. If that's what you're looking for https://github.com/publicimageltd/delve might be the package for you.

When I see dashboards based on content I think delve.

If you're using org-roam already, might be worth looking into delve.

Sounds useful! So I understand you let the user add notes to a special org mode buffer which you then call a ' desktop', right? I have written a similar package for collecting org roam nodes called Delve. It uses a special list view to collect the stuff, however. Your approach is more direct, right? I have considered that approach, too, but I thought it would be nice to have something to navigate from link to its back links to their back links etc... apart from that, I'd actually prefer your kind of approach since it seems more emacsy.

I think you might be looking for delve. It allows to create collections of notes and operate on them.
