emacs-calfw VS zetteldesk.el

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.

For publishing stuff, Emacs has a very rich ecosystem. Org-export libraries are very powerful and allow you to export to virtually any format you desire. There is also org-publish for publishing your work, which works very well. However, when you have a bunch of org-roam nodes, it is not so easy to export all of them. I have personally created a tool for gathering a lot of your org-roam nodes in one file, your so-called "desktop" which can be used for revision of topics, writing manuscripts for articles or just straight up publishing your notes. You can find it here.

Hey, this is a bit of a self plug, but since I had the exact same problem with you, I am pretty sure I have exactly what you are looking for. Last year, I wrote zetteldesk.el and one of its core functionalities is exactly collecting a set of org-roam nodes and adding them to a buffer in a specific order so you can revise them as you like.

If your problems are just filtering and sorting your notes, then you should have no trouble. You can even insert them in a temporary buffer and view them all simultaneously. Albeit completely unrelated to daily notes, I recently wrote a package to solve this exact problem you describe, but instead of daily notes, I wanted to filter an arbitrary selection of notes. You can check it out here, the source might give you some inspiration for how to do what you want. Ripgrep is an excellent tool for searching your notes, but what you are asking for isn't really its use case I feel, you want more of a filter, not a search tool.

Last week, I released my new emacs package zetteldesk.el and made a post here for showcasing it. The idea was rather well accepted but I got a lot of feedback, that the README was too dense in information and it was hard for a new user to try it. I have tried fixing this, by integrating gifs for demonstrations instead of the raw info (which I moved to the wiki for anyone wanting it), adding a set of default bindings in the form of a hydra and a small sample config to get you started.
