I went Obsidian → Logseq → Emacs.

        I mean there’s the EWMM, emacs based windows manager. So it can absolutely do anything.

        But doing something because you can, vs because it’s useful is different. I like emacs fo text edit. I open images and pdf in the process of writing documents but that’s about it.

          Nobody’s made a Wayland compositor running in emacs yet, just an X11 window manager!

          EDIT: Okay, apparently they have, ewx, but unlike EXWM, it’s not really in a usable state.

        How to look it up:

        M-x org-mode RET

        That’s “Meta-X” (Alt-X), then “org-mode” and Enter, switches the major mode of the current buffer to org-mode so that we have the org-mode keybindings active.

        C-h k C-c C-x C-l

        C-h, Control-H, is the “help” prefix. “C-h k” is describe-key, tells you what a given key sequence runs. C-h k C-c C-x C-l will say what C-c C-x C-l does. It gives the following output:

        C-c C-x C-l runs the command org-latex-preview (found in
org-mode-map), which is an interactive native-comp-function in
‘org.el’.

It is bound to C-c C-x C-l.

(org-latex-preview &optional ARG)

Toggle preview of the LaTeX fragment at point.

If the cursor is on a LaTeX fragment, create the image and
overlay it over the source code, if there is none.  Remove it
otherwise.  If there is no fragment at point, display images for
all fragments in the current section.  With an active region,
display images for all fragments in the region.

With a ‘C-u’ prefix argument ARG, clear images for all fragments
in the current section.

With a ‘C-u C-u’ prefix argument ARG, display image for all
fragments in the buffer.

With a ‘C-u C-u C-u’ prefix argument ARG, clear image for all
fragments in the buffer.

    I went the ohterway with Emacs -> Logseq -> Obsidian, but with several things in between. Emacs isn’t for me, I did give it a red hot go and coded off it for a good year or two about 10-15 years ago.

    HOWEVER, I have to agree. Emac’s Orgmode is first class and I’ve never been as satisfied with a task app since. However, at the time I was using it, mobile support was pretty much nonexistent, and I was missing vim too much, so I eventually abandoned it.

    Now i just use a selfhosted instance of memos, which is sparse on its feature set, but works well for me.

        I think I might have seen a build or two even back then. However, what I need from a mobile app isn’t to provide all of emacs, but rather just satisfy a few key use cases. Providing everything comes at the cost of usability, which is a key requirement for a mobile app. Really I just need to capture notes and tasks and see task lists, but trying to use the mobile emacs in the middle of a conversation, commuting, or grabbing coffee isn’t ideal.

        There were a couple of 3rd party apps that were designed for orgmode, but after I trialled, but they all fell short for me.

        Even if it had the best mobile app now however, I wouldn’t go back to emacs. Each to their own, but I’ve become way more aligned with the unix philosophy of “do one thing, and do it well”, where as I see emacs more as “lets do as much as we can in one app”. IMO Ofc.

          Yeah to be fair I don’t use it either. These days I tend to just look for editors with good markdown support.

    Once you discover org mode… you’re not going back.

    I love infinite nested tasks; subtasks, sub subtasks, subsubsubtasks, subsubsubsubaubtasks.

    See check this. You start by creating 3 main points… then you need to give more info to these 3 points, and you can either insert tons of text under it… or create subtasks. Now you figure the subtasks need explanation, again either text or subtasks. Lovely

      Any good tutorials? I’m on OP’s “logseq” step but I’m still floundering with how to actually organize my thoughts and notes. The “daily journal” style of logseq is alright for brain dumping, I guess, but I have a hard time reorganizing the dump into cohesive tasks/projects/future reference notes.

      My problem with that is mobile. If I want tasks, I’ll use a dedicated primarily mobile app, (e.g. Tasks.org) because if I’m checking a grocery list or tweaking my daily todo list while out of the house, I’m not gonna pull out my laptop lol

      Of course it seems reasonable for more long-term plans which you don’t need to change day-to-day, but at that point I’d just end up with two to do lists/apps which is also a bother.

        I usually just export my shopping list to either PDF or html and email it to myself so I have it on my phone. I use pen and paper for things I want to change on the go.

    Todoist works great and I don’t need to learn a whole operating system to use it. Plus, it works on my phone!

        I have good experiences with cuneiform. You only need a bit of clay, a wedge and some dedication.

        Especially in meetings it has the advantage that it is less noisy compared to your rock and won’t ever be noticed in your tribes meetings.

        It doesn’t support real Markdown tho

    Did you replicate the daily journal workflow of logseq in org mode or did you end up with something different?
