Why is this change needed? -------------------------- I want a better way of recording and organizing knowledge. I reviewed a bunch of tools in this space including, but not limited to, - roam - logseq - notion - obsidian I was surprised to find that Emacs provided the best tooling overall. I had a lot of requirements, but the key ones were - no writing style requirements - for example, Roam and Logseq require everything to be a node in a tree. I just want to start writing without any thought to format. Also, a tree is not always the best way to represent information. - stored in plain text - everything I write should be as portable as possible - stored in a place I can control or export - if I decide to switch tools or the tool I'm using goes away, that shouldn't make me start over - navigate by reference or tag - it should be easy to find linked or unlinked references to anything I write about, either because I'm implicitly mentioned it somewhere, I've explicitly linked it, or I've explicitly grouped the ideas together with a tag How does it address the issue? ------------------------------ Org Roam is the most popular zettelkasten package for Emacs and does the above once configured correctly. I also added Org Roam UI, a web interface for navigating your notes, to make it even easier to see knowledge relations and find notes I'm looking for. This implementation doesn't address all of my needs, but committing this is the last thing I need to do to switch laptops so it's happening anyway. In particular, I haven't - made sure that everything that's embedded in a note is stored in the note repository (e.g. adding an image should put the image in the repo) - actually turned the org roam directory into a repo for maximum storage safety - installed a flashcard solution - enabled transclusion - decided on a publishing feature (if I want one) Still, it should fire up and work just fine for anyone. I'm already using it fairly extensively. It might even eventually take the place of my tmp file. Any links to any relevant tickets, articles or other resources? ---------------------------------------------------------------

Why is this change needed? -------------------------- It was recommended by several people while I was setting it up, but I never want it. How does it address the issue? ------------------------------ I'm deleting it because it's bad to have code you never use.

I get these errors on startup: Unrelated, maybe the tmp.org should be called something other than tmp, if it's intended to be a quick brain dump file? idk, that's less important than the startup issue. |

I only remember you have a problem here when I have no access to you. It seems like it failed to fetch from MELPA, but it's definitely still in MELPA. Any chance it was an intermittent failure? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I have the same error as before, but this did drive me to update emacs, but I have the same error as before. Let's look at it together sometime.

We debugged this in person. Short version, I had a weird/bad symlink in my elpa/gnu/ directory. We deleted it and let emacs start from scratch. Also, I had split my dropbox into two directories, neither named "~/Dropbox", so we added a symlink with that name to make the dropbox parts of Org Roam work. |

There's a description of Org Roam in the files. I'm using it as part of my organization system. It is awesome.
