When Rougier makes something, I pay attention. For example, https://github.com/rougier/agenda is a plain text agenda for Emacs. He loads the readme with disclaimers about how it's NOT EVEN CLOSE to org-agenda in power or features. He doesn't scare me! Gotta try it, right? #emacs

Reminds me of "Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of #Orgmode."
Today they're adding a CLI.
Next a REPL.
In a couple of years maybe a decent programming language.
If you want all the fun just now without the lock in effects of #Obsidian, take a look at the cool features of https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/ 😉
Whoa, Obsidian CLI! The help page hints at lots of fascinating possibilities (especially via LLM integrations.) 🤯

Why use AI writing tools when you can just build your own workflow in Emacs instead?

And if you don't understand what my rantings about Emacs are about or what in the heck Emacs is, don't feel bad because 90% of the people in my life don't either, including my husband of 10+ years who I have a whole child with and who's seen me use it as my text editor, file manager, email client, scheduler, and feed reader every day for the past half-decade.
After a dry spell I'm finally booked for enough work to need #OrgMode and #OrgAgenda again to keep track, and when I opened Agenda again for the first time since mid-2025 things were obviously A Mess. 💫 Some to-do items had been rescheduled almost 200 times, untracked habits lay forgotten and dying. It took < 5 minutes to clear or triage though, and Agenda became usable again with the peace of mind that work tasks won't slip through the cracks.
Honestly the Org Mode/Agenda system fills the niche of a Bullet Journal (which I also tried for a few years) for me in being easy to come back to after I inevitably drop off from time to time. And that's a good thing, not only because I get to have an organization system even after being away for a while, but because there are stretches of life when a system genuinely isn't necessary and may do more harm than good. It's nice to be able to move fluidly between the states. #Emacs #ADHD
Canceled Spotify and realized that I have my hundreds of CDs ripped and sitting on a portable hard disk.
Grabbed a Raspberry Pi (version 2) and installed Samba ... that is all that is needed.
Thought I would start looking for clients and then I remembered ready-player project (https://github.com/xenodium/ready-player) for #emacs
Nicely done, @xenodium !
@stefanmuelller @kuf @langscipress @geeeero @pandoc @typst Na, da steige ich doch auch gleich mal ein und bringe noch #orgmode ins spiel ("Markdown on Steroids"). Für SFB-Anträge bleibe ich ebenso erstmal bei #TeXLaTeX (https://doi.org/10.18154/RWTH-2022-10554 - Neufassung in Arbeit)
@lukascbossert @stefanmuelller @kuf @langscipress @geeeero @pandoc @typst @alerque
Bin weitgehend von "direktem" #TeXLaTeX weg und nutze nur noch #orgmode mit M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf 🙂 Kollaborativ arbeiten kann man direkt in #Emacs mit #crdt.el.
#Typst oder #SILE kämen für mich erst infrage, wenn sie in #Debian drin sind. Externe Pakete machen auf Dauer nur Ärger.
