zk VS chemacs2

Hey there, here's some packages that might help you: - Org Roam - Denote - Zk

The citar package, which I created, has note integration packages available for both org-roam and denote (along with zk).

You could try denote as some others suggest. I found this, which takes inspiration from zettelkasten like roam but uses plain text and no database, https://github.com/localauthor/zk

You might try zk. I think it checks most of those boxes. https://github.com/localauthor/zk

Thanks for the links. A lot of ideas are very relatable and I agree, that the Zettelkasten might not fit the general note taking needs. As I pointed out, I am specifically interested in utilizing the zettelkasten-method in a research-workflow aiming to assist (and track) a structured cognition process. However, tools like org-roam and delve (which I recently checked out) introduce a certain degree of complexity to the system -- especially if you want to understand the technicalities of the utilized solution. Therefore, I'm very much intrigued by zk, developed by /u/oldjawbone recently. Asking you as the die hard PIM-enthusiast who you certainly are: What is your opinion on zk's general design decisions? Do you think it is reasonably future-proof,/u/publicvoit?

You could manage such a system with tools like Chemacs, https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2

Edit: Actually this may be what you want: https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2

https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

have a look at how https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2 does this sort of things.

I asked this same question a year and half ago and since that post I started reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen which was really helpful, I used Chemacs to keep my evil config around in case I give up. But I ended up dropping that config and I realized I wasn't really into modal editing. It took me one month to get used to my new config but that was worth it, everything in Emacs became consistent.

Perhaps the biggest game changer in my new init file is chemacs2. This allows one to choose one among many possible ".emacs.d" directories to use for the emacs that is being invoked.
