Thread 105958336

Hi! I recently switched from obsidian.md to nvim. I'm using treesitter, render-markdown, telescope, nvim-tree and zenmode a1s my main plugins. Other than that I have some scriptts that create new file (or navigate to) when Enter is pressed on a [link](link.md) and b to go to a previous buffer. Any ideas to improve this setup? I'm using nixos (with flakes and home-manager) btw. I wont share my dotfiles as they're pushed to a github repo in an account that I'm using for work (I don't want to doxx myself)

Also: note-taking general

static notes, not very helpful in my experience

does this actually gets the job done? how is it different from just plain .txt.

you're looking for emacs and org-mode.

How about you use ropehanger, you fucking nigger?

If you do anything other than vim ~/notes.txt or vim ~/notes-2025-07.txt you're overthinking it

google keep for day to day stuff
standard notes for password protected stuff
tried moving to one note, didn't like it

pen and paper, nothing ever comes close to cheap reliable bic cristal and random notebooks i have stashed around the house

i can't into org-mode but i would use that. instead i'm using logseq because i hate keyboard-driven environments.
also i only use it for projects. fuck maintaining a second brain for absolutely everything.

nvim-orgmode is really solid if you're willing to learn it

>>105958336 (OP)
I use nano for some notes and all coding
Most of my notes are on random pieces of paper I hold in a physical folder

What is that colorscheme? It looks really nice.

What’s important for your notes?
Personally I just want to have a personal wiki that can at least handle:
1. (todo) lists like dynalist/workflowy
2. tables, sortable too like wikipedia
3. internal (within file) links
4. external (between files) links
5. easy conversion/export to obsidian, github-flavored markdown, html static sites, ebooks
Turns out none can actually do this. The closest is probably orgmode or a local install of mediawiki. Perhaps tiddlywiki?
Or you can use obsidian, (n)vim with a bunch of garbage plugins and scripts.

Btw I don’t recommend writing your own note-taking software/text editor/plugin. That’s literally yak shaving. Just use what’s available, or at worst write simple shell scripts with linux command line tools to manipulate the texts.
