If you use Denote by Protesilaos Stavrou (aka Prot), there is an improved feature, released today: "refinements to the Denote file prompt".
https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2025-12-16-emacs-denote-file-prompt-refinements/
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.

EmacsConf 2025: Zettelkasten for regular Emacs hackers - Christian Tietze (he)

YouTube

Ich habe mir gestern abend mal das Video zum #Emacs Paket #Denote angeschaut. Ein wirklich beeindruckendes und gut durchdachtes Konzept. Bzgl. Emacs bin ich ja noch der totale Noob, aber ich blicke auf eine lange #PIM-Historie zurück und kann feststellen: Die grundlegenden Prinzipien eines guten und nachhaltigen #KnowledgeManagement-Systems sind immer gleich bzw. mindestens sehr ähnlich. Ein Jammer, dass diese Basics nicht in der Schule gelehrt werden.

Emacs: introduction to Denote (simple note-taking)

YouTube
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.
