Show HN: Organize and Compute in Writing via Sowhat Text Editor
Hello HN,
The demo here shows the companion editor [0] for the sowhat language [1].
The purpose of the editor is two things:
- Makes building and organizing a collection of writing easier. It does this by extracting different elements such as tags and folders from a collection of writing then presenting those elements via in-context autocomplete.
- Makes the collection of writing more useful by including notation elements such as events, beans [2] and formulas to support computing within the writing itself.
A while back I released sowhat, the language supporting Tap [3]. Sowhat and the companion editor are, together, a cornerstone of Tap. Tap is a system for collecting writing and other digital matter.
The editor here can be used in conjunction with sowhat to build your own tools. Or, it can provide a foundation to augment and enhance Tap.
My goal is to open source as much of Tap as possible because:
- It's fun to build with other people
- It should be as easy as possible for someone to customize their Tap experience. There's no way to accommodate all the UXs one might want within Tap. These tools are intended to enable a developer to create their own experiences.
- For those that use Tap but the then leave, a person's exported notes can maintain their original organization and meaning.
- Opens a path for others to provide feedback and enhancements to the open source tools and Tap itself.

Notes on Emacs Org Mode
Sorry, but _what exactly_ «it seems to do» from your point of view?
My «second brain» now is almost 300Mb of text, pictures, sound files, PDF and other stuff. As I already mentioned, it contains tables, mathematical formulae, sheet music, cross-references, code samples, UML diagrams and graphs in Graphviz format. It is versioned, indexed by local search engine, analyzed by AI assistant and shared between many computers and mobile devices. And (last but not least) it works: it allows me to solve my tasks way more faster than with the assistant of external, non-personalized tools (like ChatGPT, StackExchange or Google).
I know no tools for all this tasks except org-mode. Well, maybe Evernote in the 2010-s was something similar — but with less features, with more bugs and with worse interface.
Personal note-taking _is_ a complex task per se (well, at least for someone like typical HN visitor). I've seen many note-taking tools, that were ridiculously featureless, stupid and inconvenient because they were _not_ complex enough.
> Sure if one wants to do emacs-gardening it is fine.
1)You can use org-mode outside Emacs. See for example Logseq (https://logseq.com/), organice (https://organice.200ok.ch/) or EasyOrg.
2)Org-mode works in Emacs out of the box, you don't need any «emacs-gardening» to use org-mode.
3)The term «Emacs-gardening» itself sound a bit like hate-speech for me. The complexity of Emacs customization is overrated, mostly due to opinions of people who never used Emacs or used it in the previous millennium.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
For an opensource alternative to Obsidian checkout Logseq (1). I spent a while thinking obsidian was opensource out of my own ignorance and was disappointed when I learned it was not.

I'm a science student and amateur web dev. Is this the right tool?
While Emacs and Org mode can certainly be used for this (and, when they can't, you can always inject little python/js scripts in your emacs config to take care of specific things), I'd also recommend you take a look at Logseq.

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
My work notes (and email) has shifted into emacs but I'm still editing zimwiki formatted files w/ the many years of notes accumulated in it Though I've lost it moving to emacs, the Zim GUI has a nice backlink sidebar that's amazing for rediscovery. Zim also facilitates hierarchy (file and folder) renames which helps take the pressure off creating new files. I didn't make good use of the map plugin, but it's occasionally useful to see the graph of connected pages.
I'm (possibly unreasonably) frustrated with using the browser for editing text. Page loads and latency are noticeably, editor customization is limited, and shortcuts aren't what I've muscle memory for -- accidental ctrl-w (vim:swap focus, emacs/readline delete word) is devastating.
Zim and/or emacs is super speedy. Especially with local files. I using syncthing to get keep computers and phone synced. But, if starting fresh, I might look at things that using markdown or org-mode formatting instead. logseq (https://logseq.com/) looks pretty interesting there.
Sorry! Long answer.
