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 ?

#emacs #neovim #wiki #bbq

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.
#emacs #denote
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.

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.

Excellent talk about Zettelkasten in #emacs #denote from @ctietze at emacs conf this weekend.

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 https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/taking-notes-with-emacs-denote/
Taking Notes With the Emacs Denote Package

This article describes how to take notes with the Emacs Denote package as part of the Emacs Writing Studio configuration for authors.
