  • svg-lib

    Emacs SVG libraries for creatings tags, icons and bars

  • 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.

  • delve

    Delve into your org-roam zettelkasten (by publicimageltd)

  • Don't think I've seen a package that you're referring to, but maybe delve could be a substitute?
