hackernews-TUI VS org-roam

Considering that I only access reddit either occasionally from Relay on my phone or primarily modified version of the terminal TUI tuir (They killed the API token for TUIR, but you can still use it if you setup your own API key.) which I'm using now to write this comment from, it would likely reduce my Reddit usage by >90%. I usually have tuir nested in a tmux session, which I would likely change to a hackernews reader like hackernews-TUI.

Hi everyone, this is my second "Show HN" submission posted in Hacker News. The first one was https://github.com/aome510/hackernews-TUI. I received a lot of good feedbacks and suggestions from the community back then. For the second one, I also look forward to hearing the community's opinions.

A bit background on the project: I started `hackernews-tui` and after that `spotify-player` (both are terminal application) because I want to learn Rust and build applications with Rust which I'm able to use daily.

`spotify-player` is a terminal application that can be used as either a remote player to control another Spotify client or a local player with an integrated Spotify client. So if you already know spotify-tui[1] or ncspot[2], `spotify-player` is kinda a simplified combination of both =).

I have two demo videos for the application, one in youtube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jbfe9GLNWbA and the another in asciicast https://asciinema.org/a/446913.

Hope you guys give it a try. Any feedbacks are highly appreciated!

FYI, I have implemented a reader view for `hackernews_tui v0.6.0` [0] which seems to satisfy most of the conditions above. Judging from my experience, this reader view works quite well and can cover many use cases.

I keep absolutely everything in a single folder. Saved documents, images, movies, financial records, game saves, it doesn't matter. My hierarchical naming scheme takes care of organization. On the odd occasion I actually need a folder, I just append ".d" to the filename.

I use . as a hierarchy delimiter, so file extensions are just part of the hierarchy, and I can have multiple files with the same name except for the extension. For example, "film.spongebob.png" is a photo of spongebob, "film.spongebob.org" is a note about spongebob, and "film.spongebob.s1.e7" is my favorite episode.

I use org-roam [1] for note-taking and task/time-management. I absolutely require a plain-text system so it either had to be markdown or org-mode. Emacs was the deciding factor, else I would have still been using Dendron [2]

If OneNote is your thing, I'd probably recommend Obsidian [3] over org-roam. Despite it being the greatest program ever created, Emacs is a lot to learn "just" for taking notes.

If you like VS Code, check out Dendron. It's the one that got me into more serious PKMS instead of just chucking notes in a folder all willy nilly.

I'm using org-roam to keep my notes, which generally works well for me. There's one thing I am missing and I'm wondering if I just overlooked it, or whether it simply doesn't exist.

Org-Roam is a Roam-inspired Emacs mode that builds on top of org mode. Every node (aka note) has a unique ID that's different from its name. Every link from node A to node B actually links to the ID, so you can change node B's name without affecting the link. When you're on node B, you can open the Roam buffer and it will show you all of the links that point to that node.

Org Mode. I can export my notes to LaTeX or HTML and keep things tidy in a zettelkasten with org-roam.

Of course, the real power-user move would be to use Emacs with Org-Roam, but you have to be prepared to dive deep into the rabbit-hole. If you don't, it won't be worth it. If you do, you'll be handsomely rewarded. I know because I have, and I can highly recommend it if you like tinkering with and customising your tools. IMO, Doom Emacs is the way to go nowadays.

I'd highly recommend Org-roam. It's what has enabled me to actually start consistently keeping notes (and being able to retrieve/access them later). It's very easy with Org-roam to quickly add new notes, or add information to old notes, and the links/backlinks make (re)discoverability very easy.
