I'd really love to see discussion on note taking or knowledge management part, since you both have decades of experience with emacs & orgmode.

Especially since Omar mentions in many #denote (#orgroam) or atomic notes (zettel) related thread that org works better with huge individual files.
I for one use #datetree file mostly for all notes, as I simply can capture everyday without bothering of organization.

(will try to keep reminder for participating live if possible)

Using Denote for Email: A manual workflow: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/26/using-denote-for-email-a.html

Denote wasn’t built for email, but since I’m tired of Apple Mail for long emails, a quick manual copy-paste solves the problem. It’s not a sophisticated workflow, but it works.

@minad I will add my two cents as soon as I have some time. The short version: having all data directly in the filesystem also has some advantages - especially in terms of access and reliability. Performance issues and reliability of orgroam were often connected to sqlite. For the popular #Denote (and my rather unknown orgrr :) the absence of a database is a feature. I wonder what the main benefits of an sqlite #Elfeed are.

Since I've been using it for nearly a year(!), I thought it was about time I wrote some notes on how I now also use the #denote-sequence #emacs package to group related posts on my #sphinx powered blog.

Organising Series with denote-sequence — Alex Carney

Is there built-in functionality for transcluding headings from an Org file, specifically ones marked with TODO?

I have an Org file that I use to list action items. How I break up work is by only marking headings with TODO if I want to work on them for the day or week (marking everything in the file as TODO would result in a buffer of noise, losing out on contextual cues). Because of how my ADHD works, I really need these items to consistently show up in some routine or process I've already established so they stay in the foreground of "shit I need to be working on".

Right now, that already-established process in Emacs is by making use of denote-journal so every day I start all my writing, rough drafts, notes, and so on in a daily Org/denote-journal file.

I'm thinking a good workflow might be that when I open my daily journal, it gets populated with TODO entries from another file. It'd be extra nice if there was some way to do the transclusion without it effectively hard-copying/duplicating the headings from another Org file.

Concernant le développement des logiciels libres :

  • #postmarketOS sera d’ici quelques années stable et mature. On pourra complètement remplacer #Android sur la majorité des modèles en circulation.
  • #Gemini est tellement simple qu’il dispose de clients feature-complete depuis des années, mais il faut encore y mettre des contenus « natifs ». Cf. gemini://planet-gemini.fr.
  • Le standard #GNU #Denote n’est pas, à ma connaissance, porté de manière satisfaisante en Common Lisp, pour Lem et Nyxt. De même manquons-nous de clients Mastodon dans ce langage.

Et il reste ensuite à mener la campagne de boycott proprement dite, en mobilisant la population. C’est une activité militante, pas directement technique.

maybe I'm tired and I forget some basics -

How do I tell denote in emacs to search for a term (say "linux") but NOT from my blog folder?

usual usage is with consult-denote-find, I want to have it ignore anything from the blog folder temporarily.

Une lecture peut-être très bonne ou excellente sur la prise de notes avec un logiciel dédié (e.g. Obsidian ou GNU Denote), et le flux RSS 2.0 est complet. Si vous vouliez vous mettre à #Elfeed, ou même à #Emacs, je vous recommanderais chaudement de l’ajouter, ainsi que celui de votre ville/région associée au réseau mutu, avec Elfeed-org, puis de vous dépatouiller avec #Denote.

@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?
