Emacs-Appindicator - create and control tray icons with Elisp!
You can hide/show icons, labels, create context menus with lisp callbacks for each menu item. The library uses svg-lib so you can use icons from various online collections supported by it. Under the hood it has tiny daemon, written in C that interacts with system tray via libappindicator. So, at least for now, the only supported OS is Linux.

Initial Thoughts On A New Productivity Tool
Yes, he also uses svg to render a canvas and images. You can also check work by Rougier (/u/nicolas-rougier), he usually anounces his stuff in /r/emacs. He has done a lot with svg, check his svg-lib and svg-icons.

Package to display org headings spatially?
Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.

Rounded UI corners and shadows?
the most basic UI changes you can do is by configuring faces (i recommend you take a look at the whole Controlling the Display section of the manual). going a bit beyond that, you can also take a look at the Widget Library as well for buttons, links, checkboxes and some other stuff. and there is also some packages and hacks by the community to display SVGs. see this reddit post and also some of Nicolas Rougier's work, more specifically his SVG lib.

Cross-platform graphics
You could, at least in theory, do lots of GUI stuff in Emacs itself already with SVG (org PNGs). See for example svg-lib by N. Rougier for doing stuff like buttons, toolbars and some other gui elements. You can do pop-up menus with child frames.

procress: A simple emacs package to indicate progress of a process in the modeline (for example AUCTeX processes)
At the moment undetermined progress is what's supported out-of-the-box. Determined progress can be supported easily enough if svg-lib is used to create the progress bar.

Why not use Obsidian and/or Logseq instead of OrgRoam?
Oh, I understood now what you mean. I think Emacs is definitely capable of doing this (https://github.com/rougier/svg-lib), but I don't think there's a plugin which has already done it :/.

svg-lib icons in org files
i saw this repository and i want to use thoses icons in my org files, but i don't have much experience with emacs-lisp and neither org-mode (sorry for being a newbie). i tried to append (require 'svg-lib) and also i donwloaded the repository and before did it before requiring the module (i'm not sure if this is the right name)

Have you considered/tried doing something with svg-lib?

svg-tag-mode (v 0.3.1) is now on ELPA
Can you open an issue on https://github.com/rougier/svg-lib (with screenshots)? I'm trying to fix the tag for any kind of font ant that would help.

An Improved Emacs Search
This is a good improvement. Personally though I left isearch behind. For further search convenience / functionality I highly recommend swiper.

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Next you "only" have to remember (elisp) function names. "Completion UIs" like ivy/counsel, icomplete, helm or vertico/consult, give you a nice auto completion list on M-x (choose the one of them, you like the most). Some of those Completion UIs will display existing keybindings and a short documentation for commands, near the auto complete candidates. So you will start to remember more keybindings without "learning sessions", just because invoking functions via keybindings is much faster (more convenient).
-
What packages do the cool kids use these days?
Proposal 4 (group-function). This one is an actual addition, which allows candidate gouping in the style of Helm. Note that it is a pure addition. Completion UIs and completion packages work perfectly fine without it. It wouldn't be difficult to add support to Ivy. I wrote the patch.

How to Make Emacs Look Cooler with Simple Customization
For the unfamiliar, Swiper is a part of Ivy which lets you search through your buffer with a preview of match candidates: you type some text you're looking for, and up pops a list of matching lines in the minibuffer that you can then use the arrow keys, C-n C-p etc. to scroll through and select the one you want.

Replacing packages with more "stripped down" packages
When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

macOS DWIM "Open with" command (ok, last one for a while)
Ah, neat. I hadn't considered appending comments for searchability. I'm currently getting searchabiity from M-x dwim-... and ivy completion.

How do you take book notes?
Great question. I have one big file with a few hundreds book and quotations from them. Problem is with newlines. When I copy text from kindle it doesn't have newlines because it's depends on font size. So every quotation from book is on one line - could be few thousands chars. I use visual-line-mode and there is a big problem with that. Like swiper would just freeze your emacs if you try to search. https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/issues/925 Anyone have same problem?

note-taking without org roam.
Then hit C-' (that's apostrophe, left of enter on US keyboards). Preferably with something like [ivy][https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper] set up so you can see what it's trying to autocomplete for you- it should be suggesting all of your org 'notebooks' in the targeted folder, as well as any buffers you have open.
