Now, I had known about Ulysses for a while, and had even used it here and there. What I needed was a central spot to capture all my thoughts, ideas, notes, and inspiration. It lacked structure and it was super inefficient. This scattered note-taking system was frustrating. Articles I was writing were saved to whichever writing app I happened to be using that day (could have been iA Writer, Byword, Simplenote, Bear, or whatever else).Notes from books I read stayed in the books.Ideas went wherever I happened to jot them down. ![]() Half the time I didn't know which one to use. Stuff was everywhere!Īs you can see, there were too many note-taking locations. What do you do when you get an idea? Or when you want to write something down, where does it go?įor me, ideas, notes, and writing all used to live in different apps. Let’s stop worrying and start loving Emacs Org-mode! It is overall a good framework to store notes, add Org-roam and it became many times better! Don’t worry, (Neo)Vim is still my daily driver.It sucks to have your ideas, notes, and writing all scattered about with things all over the map. Maybe it’s time to make my own iOS application that does just that? Interesting. Thinking long and far, I decided to keep using Org-roam, while waiting to find a good iOS app that allow me to read my notes. As a programmer that often store note related to coding, I think this is a minus. Org-mode has a weird syntax to display verbatim text and it doesn’t have syntax for displaying inline code or block code. Other alternative is to install terminal emulator app and Emacs within, but it won’t be a pleasant touch experience. It won’t accept *.org file outside its iCloud directory, so no go. By itself, Beorg is a good TODO and Agenda manager based on Org-mode. Looking on the App Store, Reddit and DuckDuckGo, I only find this app called Beorg. But I’d still like to be able to see my notes on my iPhone or iPad, and this weird *.org file format hindered me on doing so.įSNotes has iOS app that synchronizes instantly. I use it like anyone else use smartphone, as communication tool, scrolling social medias 2, read articles and news. It took around 2 hours of my afternoon, but I enjoy it. I actually liked the interface of FSNotes, but the automatic back links, and the Vim bindings… I went “what the hell” and migrated all of those 300+ Markdown files. ![]() I migrated 2 files at first, then compared between my notes on Org-roam with the one in FSNotes. My next move after creating journal with Org-roam is… migrating the Markdown files to Org files. I have 300+ good Markdown files in it, guides, personal notes, quotes from internet, many topics. It features wiki linking and I’ve tried using Zettelkasten paradigm, even though not too successful. It is a great program inspired by nvALT and created by a single person (check out the Patreon page!). You can see my Doom Emacs configuration files on my dotfiles repo. For this issue, I asked on Doom Emacs’ discord channel, and got the solution from this this guide.Ī newbie Emacs user, I configure with Org-roam’s maintainer’s dotfiles as reference. I want the editor to use its internal register for Vim commands, and only use clipboard if I explicitly use ⌘+c and ⌘+v. I expect a Vim-like environment to not mess with my system clipboard each time I delete, yank or change any text with Vim key bindings. ![]() My second problem is clipboard management. There is still some quirks, but better than before. I installed evil-better-visual-line that try to solve this issue. With that option enabled, dd will only delete the current visual line. evil-mode provides evil-respect-visual-line-mode option, but it doesn’t work in the case of delete whole line with dd command. I mapped gj and gk to replace default j and k in Vim, it enables per visual line movement on wrapped text, instead of per line number. My first problem is with soft wrapped text. Its key bindings really makes me feel at home, but it still has some quirks. Evil mode is actually an acronym for Extensible Vi Layer.
