• Ask HN: Has Anyone Trained a personal LLM using their personal notes?

  - or to visualize and use it as a personal partner. There's already a ton of open-source UIs such as Chatbot-ui[3] and Reor[4]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Personally, I haven't been consistent enough through the years in note-taking. So, I'm really curious to learn more about those of you who were and implemented such pipelines. I'm sure there's a ton of really fascinating experiences. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  Obligatory reference to Emacs Org-Mode [1]. Author's approach is basically Org-Mode with fewer helpers. Org-mode's power is that, at core, it's just a text file, with gradual augmentation. Then again, Org-Mode is a tool you must install, accessible through a limited list of clients (Emacs obviously, but also VSCode), and the power of OP's approach is that it requires no external tools.

• Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers

  This reminds me a lot of [Org Mode](https://orgmode.org/). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.

  If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode.".

• Ask HN: Local Wysiwyg HTML Editor for Mac

  Wow, no one has recommended Org mode (https://orgmode.org). I started using Emacs nearly 20 years ago specifically because of Org. I use Org for all my static sites, note taking, to-do lists and calendar. Org has a lightweight markup language that has far more features than Markdown (e.g., plain text spreadsheets!), but the markup isn't visible to the extent that Markdown is in most editors.

• Think in Analog, Capture in Digital

  Just another reason for one to get into org-mode[1] and org-roam[2]. Combine this with the concept of Zettelkasten[3] and you have a wonderful way to organize and store all your notes and writings, and even a way to know at what point you should move your idea from analog to digital (based on it's maturity, e.g. "evergreen state"). 1. https://orgmode.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Not trying to start a rumble, but why emacs

  This can be done most comfortably with org-mode in emacs. It offers a lot of features, and they all operate on plain text. There are also nice integrations for git and languagetool, but I guess those are less exclusive. Source: 10 months ago

• Standard Notes or Notesnook?

  As another alternative you can try org-mode 🤔. Source: 10 months ago

• Useful programs

  Org Mode. I can export my notes to LaTeX or HTML and keep things tidy in a zettelkasten with org-roam. Source: 10 months ago

• A Markdown first, TypeScript alternative to Jupiter

  (If you're into some more details my inspirations is closer to org-mode and org-babel rather than Jupiter, but defers by targeting a wider user group than just emacs users). Source: 10 months ago

• What should I use to take notes in college?

  I'm also going to study this year an I'm going to use Arch + Emacs + orgmode which is builtin to emacs. Source: 10 months ago

• Plain Text Journaling in Vim

  I'm surprised there's hardly any mention of org-mode: https://orgmode.org/ It can be as detailed or simple as you like, with built-in date keeping functionality. This article spends a lot of time getting that part. I use it on Doom Emacs but it's available on vim too. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• A warning to always remember that Obsidian Sync is potentially dangerous

  Also was using Emacs (org-mode)[https://orgmode.org] for years with (Magit)[https://magit.vc] package for git. I feel org-mod is a precursor to Roam Research, Obsidian, et al. Hit the spot for years but I wanted editing on mobile so that’s why I’m here. :). Source: 11 months ago

• Does anyone here live inside emacs? can you share your workflow if you do?

  The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for...

• Lightweight Word Processor

  Personally, I use emacs with org-mode. Source: 11 months ago

• Does notion have something like org-agenda (coming from emacs + orgmode)

  One thing I've always liked about orgmode is, that I can just write a simple TODO on a headline in a random file and let org-agenda do the work for me and tell my my todo's but also if I've scheduled them. Source: 11 months ago

• What's you preferred inbox tool and why?

• What's that email client doing here?

  I do the following things in Emacs: window management, window management, file management, web browsing, mail, streaming music, chatting, shell management, version control, and life organization. Source: 12 months ago

• Pulling from the best tools for thought

  Meanwhile, a separate paradigm of note-taking tools emerged, focusing on the nested, tree-like structure of the outline. Perhaps inspired by tools like OmniOutliner and Org Mode for Emacs of the 2000s, Workflowy appeared in 2010 as a no-frills web-based outliner. - Source: dev.to / almost 1 year ago

• Hyper-Literate Programming?

  I should also say that org-mode in emacs already essentially satisfies your requirements. While the original org-mode was aimed at something else, I've seen many people use it exactly as a multi-lingual literate programming system. Source: about 1 year ago
