  • Is there any *built-in* way for back links?
    1 project | /r/orgmode | 25 Oct 2023
    For about three years now, I've been using org-super-links, but I'm getting tired of updating its dependencies that I don't use (such as helm, and now it seems to need org-super-agenda too).
  • Bi-directional links in org mode?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 7 Jul 2023
    Give org-super-links a try, it works great.
  • Video Series: Denote as a Zettelkasten
    3 projects | /r/Zettelkasten | 28 Feb 2023
    Don't get me wrong; it is not a critique, to neither you nor Prot; I am just trying to be helpful for those who are not aware of potential problems when using a file system as a database. It certainly is not a critique to your videos. Your videos are really helpful; after watching your videos, I got it more understanding about backlinks. I am not a good note-taker, and I haven't been using backlinks, I just search in my note file :), but I'll install org-super-links and see how it works. It is really on my list to become better note taker, so I see forward a long series of videos! :).
  • What method do you use to create internal links in org?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 2 Nov 2022
    org-super-links handles this pretty well. If you are more interested in building something custom, I also created org-linker to serve as a bit of a standard base to help with these types of things.
  • Netz: emacs generic graph store
    5 projects | /r/emacs | 10 Jan 2022
    Hey, thanks! Jack-o-tall-tales posted some good ones below here. My original use case was much simpler though. I started it while working on some extension ideas for my org-super-links package. Essentially mapping orgmode files into graphs. I started experimenting with this idea here and made a really bad video to illustrate the idea, but it's just kind of a POC right now. Another idea i want to play around with after that is to maybe explore some orgmode/task dependency stuff (which is kind of related to my org-linker-edna package).
  • Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
    10 projects | /r/orgmode | 6 Jun 2021
    Frankly, I spent 5 minutes trying to understand org-super-links from this link: https://github.com/toshism/org-super-links
  • TODO items without content/TODO items in the middle of meeting notes?
    1 project | /r/orgmode | 14 Mar 2021
    Another option would be to use org-capture to record the todos and file them into a dedicated todo file. You could use something like https://github.com/toshism/org-super-links to link back to the file with the meeting notes if you wanted that.

  • Help with emacs evil shotcut to change per mode
    1 project | /r/emacs | 23 Sep 2023
    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:
  • orgmode mega-files or many individual files?
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 17 May 2023
    The denote page is here, https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote , and the code can be acquired on github https://github.com/protesilaos/denote
  • Video Series: Denote as a Zettelkasten
    3 projects | /r/Zettelkasten | 28 Feb 2023
    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.
  • Is there something like org roam but for files?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 14 Dec 2022
    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.
  • org-roam vs org-super-links
    1 project | /r/emacs | 20 Sep 2022
    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.
  • note-taking without org roam.
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Sep 2022
    Try denote. I use it a lot, Im happy with it.
  • How do you organize your notes?

  • Show backlinks to regular org links?
