Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking with Org-mode. With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making note-taking fun and easy. Org-roam should also work as a plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki. Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible. Eventually, we hope to further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem. The purpose of the talk is to present some technical aspects of Org-roam. From the very beginning, we wanted Org-roam to scale with your notes, and this meant that we had to keep a close eye on our performances. As we iterated, optimisation remained a top-priority, leading us to constantly peek under Org-mode's hood. Not only has this made us better developers, but it has also uncovered paths of optimisation for Org-mode itself. The talk is targeted at software engineers willing to peek under Org-mode's hood. A rudimentary understanding of Elisp will be required. Points to be covered - SQL database via emacsql - Elisp libraries - Parsing of Org-mode files - org-elements.e - Parsing with a background-process - Ensuring consistency via hooks Back to the [[schedule]] Previous: Org-mode and Org-Roam for Scholars and Researchers Next: Sharing blogs (and more) with org-webring All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. See you then!
