vimwiki VS mkdnflow.nvim

No, Neorg does not use the same markup as Org-mode. They use their own specification that is specifically designed to be different from Org-mode spec.

Furthermore, each item you have listed as a benefit to Org-mode is in fact capable of being done in Markdown via plugins for neovim, and probably other markdown editors, like Loqseq, Roamresearch, or Obisidian, much in the same way you speak of plugins that interface with .org docs.

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

So, my suggestion is that before dismissing a comment regarding a plugin that is unfamiliar to you, is to read its spec, and then try to understand why people would be perhaps dismissive of that tool, especially when it chooses to conflict with existing, more popular choices.

I've been thinking of setting up a note taking enviroment in neovim. I've been searching around, and plugins as vimwiki, and nabla.nvim are great choices for me. I'm using Notion right now because of the great commands that brings that make the note taking pretty enjoyable. But the dividers, or putting background to text are features that I don't wanna lose, if possible.

I wrote a manuscript in vim a couple Novembers ago, for NaNoWrimo. I used a couple plugins, primarily Goyo [1] to add some margins, but otherwise, yeah, plain vim.

I don't think it was really any more productive than my current workflow in Obsidian. Vim keybindings are more useful for editing than for writing (and for editing code in particular, where the changes you're making are much more structured). Also, while the extra features afforded by Obsidian don't really make a difference during the writing process, I find they're really useful for outlines and other preliminary work, which is something of a point against a vim-only workflow unless you want to use vimwiki [2] or something.

Granted, Obsidian is still a markdown-based tool, so there's still some level of minimalism going on there, but by that point we're really discussing markup vs word processors, which is its own conversation—and to my mind, a much more important one. I much prefer working in markup than in a rich text editor, because plain text is easy to edit and process through the terminal, and because it lets me separate style choices from content.

I find that the markdown live preview that editors like Obsidian and Typora provide (and which vim doesn't) is a really nice compromise between a slick composing experience and the technical affordances of markup. Between that and Obsidian's hypertext features, I think I'll stick with Obsidian for the foreseeable future.

I use vimwiki.

Hey folks, I have been using Neovim for the past 2 years, don't have any complaints, however, I really want to give Emacs an honest try but not really sure where to start. I want to do basic text editing, programming and something similar to vimwiki (https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki)

How about learning vim and using vimwiki ?

What, we're talking about wikis and vim, and not mentioning vimwiki?

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

I tried a whole bunch of personal wikis over the years (I see Zim has been mentioned, that's one of the ones I remember trying) and this is the only one that stuck.

I have created full on programs to systematically created screenshots with the game emulators with RetroArch. Also an automation tool to use a preexisting program named chdman that converts files into a needed format (also unpacking from archives). A little Python script to create a recents list of files for Vimwiki. I also created a program to access 🌈 emojis 🌈. I wrote my own GE Proton downloader and manager. Hell even the window manager I am using on Linux is written and configured in Python, Qtile. I wrote one or two plugins for it and the entire configuration is written in Python, meaning I can use functions, modules and every logic of Python to enhance it. It's Awesome.

I like logseq for knowledge management and tasks. And since it's all plain markdown files they are easy to quickly open and search in nvim. https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim is really nice for this because it can follow the internal links and create new pages.

I've been planning to switch to https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim and re-write the function that creates diary pages, and the functions that cycle/navigate to next/prev diary pages, so that they work in subdirs... for example: main wiki is ~/diary and the main diary is in the root of that wiki and I want to be able to flexibly create dated files in any subdir without making that its own wiki so like in ~/diary/subdirxyz/2023-03-17.mkd the nextDay() function (whatever it's called) would look for next dated file only inside subdirxyz.

There are some cool features we've talked about adding to mkdnflow.nvim!!!

https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim is a similar plugin to neorg that's closer to vimwiki than to org-mode. Either way, a personal documentation system, and whatever report/scripts/grep to find things easily.

Did you see https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim/ mentioned here? I think that's the winner here (though I admit I have bias against even considering zettlekesten/zk merely due to its name: in computing we call that a wiki).

My markdown plugin mkdnflow does this (among other things). If you’re not looking for any functionality except toggling checkboxes, you could take a look at the lists module lists.lua and search for the function toggleToDo() (and those it relies on).

I'm using zk-nvim with markdown lsp, markdown / markdown_inline Treesitter and MKDNFLOW for my notes and tasks. This all works great and I also created this shortcut to archive selected lines to a different file

I use mkdnflow.nvim for taking notes in markdown. It is simple, and you can easily create and follow links.

I use markdown for all of my notes inside of Neovim and have a few custom macros and shortcuts, and heavily use iamcco's [MarkdownPreview](https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim) along with jakewvincent's [MkdnFlow](https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim).

Not sure what exactly you mean by editing lists and tables with ease, but my plugin https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim might check some of those boxes. What list and table editing features would be must-haves for you?
