@srijan @jiewawa Holy crap! This looks like it can be super useful! This could transform my #PineNote from something that just allows casual passive reading for fun to a device for producing real knowledge in my #Denote database.

Thank you!

What made YOU switch from org-roam to denote?

#OrgRoam #Denote #Emacs

Pour votre wiki personnel offline first, vous êtes plutôt quoi, #orgRoam, #denote, #zettlr, notepad #txt ?

Does anyone know how to turn off case-sensitivity when searching denote files in emacs?
When I use the denote command "open-or-create" and the search mini-buffer appears, I would like it to ignore case-sensitivity so that when the file is not found I can use the upper-case search term to immediately create a new denote entry.

If you use Denote by Protesilaos Stavrou (aka Prot), there is an improved feature, released today: "refinements to the Denote file prompt".

And #Denote is a powerfull tool, in #Emacs, based on text #format notes, with links & backlinks. Happy Emacsing!

@eludom @eludom So #emacs #denote workflow hack #1: all my gptel interactions go in ~/notes/gpt/ tagged “gpt”.

Previously I had a gpt caputre template in a date stamped tree struture.

This is better. Individual files. Named and tagged per denote (dates, subject, tags).

Tagged with normal tags.

RE: mastodon.social/@ctietze/11570

I have and really enjoyed it. Some really good advice (some of which I already follow e.g. starting with a link).

Thank you @ctietze for taking the time to put the talk and slides together. 🙏

I think #denote is going to change the way I work after ~40 years of thinking in terms of directories and folders.

Everytime I consider alternatives to #orgmode, days later, I come back because I miss its powerful features (plain text files, unique well-defined syntax, outliner, task manager...). Perhaps I only need to improve my note taking flow with #orgmode and #denote. I must read and understand this article lucidmanager.org/productivity/

[Denote] La version 4.1.0 du logiciel Denote est disponible depuis le 17 octobre.
Denote permet de créer+traiter un ensemble de fichiers avec un #format de nom qui suit un schéma toujours identique et explicite (date, sujet, mot clé).
Chaque fichier peut contenir des notes, mais aussi des video, images, PDF. Chaque fichier peut être relié à d'autres fichiers, avec rétrolien automatique.
#Denote est intégré à #Emacs & utilise différents #format (#Orgmode, #Markdown, text).

I’m not sure how to make it better — the function or the code posting. 🙂

Code in elisp.

Hi, I have a question about denote. I’m writing a function so that, before saving the journal note, it adds the entry tags to the note—merged with the existing ones—but I’m not sure which hook would be best to run it in. Since the denote-rename-file function is the one that will do the work, I’m a bit unsure. The idea is for it to do this automatically when saving the buffer, if needed. Any ideas?

Happy Wednesday!

I switched from org-roam to denote. What was my compelling reason to do so? Less weight, more portability.

I also pruned the metanote/backlink implementation which allowed me to shed almost 100 "notes." They only existed for org-roam-ui and were otherwise just a lot of noise in the signal.

Denote even has its own graphing feature with `denote-explore-network` from the `denote-explore` package. It's static and requires no server.

A screen capture of denote's `denote-explore-network`. It contains all of my tags and how strongly correlated they are to one another.
