I have been using Emacs for about 2 and a half years and at this point it has become the most important part of my workflow. After seeing how awesome Emacs is, I was very inclined to learn elisp to truly customize Emacs to its limits. So I did, and at the start of 2022 I started working on a package of mine "zetteldesk.el". This package was inspired from "How to take smart notes" the well known zettelkasten book. I read something there and I was like, surely I can implement this in Emacs, can't I. And so I did. I have watched EmacsConf for the last two years and I was interested in participating in it myself. Since I recently wrote a package of mine, I thought it was a good opportunity to make a talk of my own. So I made this talk about managing literature as it is something I believe I can deliver unique information and something I have worked on a lot recently. +# Discussion + +## Notes + +- Zettelkasten and zetteldesk + - + - + - Available on MELPA as well. +- Org-capture\--pandocs into a note-taking format +- Karl Voit: Capturing HTML content from my Firefox is easy with + +- Leo Vivier\'s personal email address is dude\@suits-do-suit-me.fr + ;-) Spam me! +- link to Leo\'s talk from last year: + + +## Questions and answers + +- Q:Do you use fleeting notes as well? Do you keep them in org-roam? + - A: + - To document the answer I gave live I am adding a small + description of it here. I do use fleeting-notes which I manage + with org-journal. I have a custom function + (org-roam-init-fleeting-note) in the link above which gives the + note an id (makes it an org-roam note), gives it a todo value + and links it to my Current Projects node. This way, the note is + inserted to my zettelkasten. But, when the TODO value becomes + DONE I have a hook that removes the ID. This is the method I use + for archiving fleeting notes when they are no longer needed. I + don\'t use org-roam-dailies as I am not aware of a way to + archive them that is this seamless. +- Q:Does it work for PDFs only or can we use it for Word and Excel + files too? or epub, websites \"eww\" or videos like youtube? + - A:Leo says Org-noter does allow epub notes through an + extensions, and works with DocView for Office docs. Can also use + Pandoc +- Q: I used to take notes on PDFs similarly in org-noter, but the + recent Zotero PDF reader is also very nice. Have you looked into + integrating the Zotero PDF reader with org-noter? + - A: While the program is nice the author dosn\'t use it becouse + it is not emacs nor have emacs bindings +- Q:Great presentantion Vaidanos. Can you let us know your thoughts on + Zettlekasten\'s future? + - A: Zettelkasten has a great future because plaintext will never + go away + -        and orgmode is open source with a vibrant community.  Leo + adds: Zettelkasten popularity shot up big in 2020. +- Q: Have you found a way to get a nice \"overview of multiple notes\" + to re-arrange them? Like physically putting many small notes on a + table and re-arranging them? + - A: Original goal of speaker\'s new package Zetteldesk.el is to + get notes + -        in a table and organize them. The idea is to use the + Zetteldesk as a scratch buffer. But making it graphical would be + hard.  (do check the 3rd demo of the talk if you haven\'t + already at 11:10 mins) + - A: The Koutliner in the GNU Hyperbole package can be used for + this where all notes would be organized, autonumbered and + automatically have a per-file unique hyperanchor ID.  You can + move notes/ideas around the same way you do in Org outlines.  + Besides collapsing and expanding trees of notes, you can also + clip the view to a particular number of lines per note for + overviews.  It supports Org tables too. +- Q: Following up on the previous question, it seems difficult or + impossible to do with emacs rendering, but perhaps with similar + strategies as org-roam-ui one could get a Zooming User Interface for + manipulating the notes on a big canvas. This is a FOSS prototype: + and this is a SaaS (proprietary) + one: . What are your thoughts on this? Do + you think it makes sense with your workflow? +- Q: Can we use Zettlekasten for coding too? Especially when using + IDEs like Visual Studio and Excel? + - A: Not sure, speaker is not in coding beyond Emacs Lisp and + MATLAB. But he thinks it should be possible. Don\'t think it + breaks the principles of Zettelkasten, can make notes for + concepts. Leo confirms that note taking can be useful for + programming and problem solving. Leo says code could be good for + Zettelkasten \"atomizing\". + - Comment from Karl Voit: I\'m not using Zettelkasten myself but + when I code, I\'m heavily relying on my personal knowledge base + which also includes Python snippets and sources (in my case) as + I\'m not a frequent programmer. So I forget the most basic stuff + from one session to the next when there are weeks/months + in-between. In the same fashion, a knowledge-base realized with + a Zettelkasten is something that helps you here, producing + better code and remembering previous + patterns/tricks/sources/\... + [[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/science-after)" raw="yes"]] -- cgit v1.2.3
