Using emacs as a study environment

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • poet

    An emacs theme that's well suited for modes using variable pitch: particularly org-mode and markdown-mode.

  • I use olivetti for writing org documents (and writing any prose, really). I normally use a dark theme but I highly recommend poet for working with prose.

  • ox-ipynb

    org-mode exporter to Jupyter notebooks

  • For exporting from org to ipnb: https://github.com/jkitchin/ox-ipynb

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • jupyter

    An interface to communicate with Jupyter kernels. (by emacs-jupyter)

  • For writing source blocks: https://github.com/nnicandro/emacs-jupyter

  • deft

    Deft for Emacs

  • If, like me, OP is a little slap-dash, happy-go-lucky, can't-decide-what-to-use, lazy, or uncoordinated, https://github.com/jrblevin/deft is a pretty handy package.

  • anki-editor

    Emacs minor mode for making Anki cards with Org

  • If you are interested in the spaced-repetition learning approach, you can try org-drill and you will use Emacs for notes production and repetition; if, like me, you prefer integrating your workflow with Anki, there's anki-editor, "a minor mode for making Anki cards with Org": the repo here. This way, you will create notes in Emacs but the repetition will be done in Anki (which means you can use Ankidroid on your phone for studying what you wrote in Emacs)

  • org-fc

    Spaced Repetition System for Emacs org-mode
