  • Best looking org-modes you ever saw?
    6 projects | /r/emacs | 27 Nov 2022
    See if org-view-mode has something you can (re)use. It is not so much about styling aside from some quotes, and centered headlines, but more about removing unnecessary noise. See if it inspires or helps, it is relatively small and hopefully simple code.
  • Is there a lightweight syntax for writing code blocks in org-mode file?
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 11 Nov 2022
    For the clutter, you can try hiding src blocks or if you prefer hide all markup.
  • What are the kinds of things you've written Emacs Lisp for?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 10 Sep 2022
    I wrote a little addon to dired to automatically display readme files in directories if there is one. I use it all the time, autoloads with my dired. I also wrote an init file generator and manager that I use every day, as long as some small packages to cleanup org mode noise, summarized in org-view-mode. Generally I use elisp instead of bash to cleanup directories, batch rename files in some special folders according to some specific naming rules etc. I also wrote an elisp script to re-build emacs, lots of other small stuff I haven't published on my github. You can check here some small extras I wrote or adapted from others for my personal use.
  • vanish.el: hide parts of a buffer
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 6 Aug 2022
    If you need some example of using text properties, here is some of my code, not sure if it is very good example, but it is very short and hopefully easy to understand. Here is a bit more elaborated one, and here is a bit of unorthodox usage of Emacs, also using text properties to achieve the effect. I don't recommend anything for "stable" system, beside org-view-mode, rest are just experiments and idea tests.
  • Orgmode: Hide leading chars `#+`
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 4 Jun 2022
  • Org-view-mode with new 'quick-edit' feature is now available from Melpa
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Feb 2022
    For the usage info, check the README file in the Github repository.
  • Display README files in Dired buffer similar as on GitHub/GitLab
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 10 Feb 2022
    I have just reworked dired-auto-readme, fixed some bugs and made it aware of org-view-mode, so now it is possible to see readme files written in org mode without markup in Dired buffers. For example, here is a screenshot of org-tree-slide package by T. Ishikawa, cloned from his GitHub repo.
  • Pretty rendering of paragraphs with org-view mode
    1 project | /r/emacs | 7 Feb 2022
    My attempt at pretty rendering paragraphs in org-mode: aligned vertically to left, right, middle and displayed with custom fonts.
  • [Pretty paragraph rendering with org-view mode](https://github.com/amno1/org-view-mode/blob/main/images/paragraphs.png)
    1 project | /r/emacs | 7 Feb 2022
    I have been hacking last weekend on my org-view mode. It can now prettify quotes, verses and centered paragraphs by applying alignment and custom faces. It should now also work in older versions than the current master :).
  • Set initial visibility by tag
    1 project | /r/orgmode | 26 Jan 2022
    You can write your own minor mode, or just simply iterate through all headings with a given tag, and fold it in with-eval-after-load. You can check this code and see if it gives you an idea how to do it. Check part for tags; instead of setting invisible property for tag, you can fold your heading. Also match tags with specific keywords in them, not all tags as I do in regex.

    - https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-pl... - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself.

    - https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).

    - https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.

    - https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox

    - https://github.com/xenodium/ob-swiftui - Play around with SwiftUI layouts from the comfort of my preferd editor.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/company-org-block - Org block completion.

    - https://xenodium.com - I tend to scratch own itches and post my solutions here.
