Notes on Emacs
Emacs is an incredible piece of software. So much so, that anyone who uses Emacs for long enough, has to write at least a single blog post about it. I don’t make the rules.
While I remain an Emacs dilettante, reading notes from other Emacs users has been so helpful that I feel its time to share some back with the Emacs community and anyone who is interested in how it can be used.
Emacs anniversary
A recollection of and reflection on how I got into Emacs in 2017, and accidentally learned Emacs and Vim at the same time.
Zetteldeft, a post-mortem reflection in celebration of Emacs
Back in 2018, after about a year of using Emacs, I harnessed its free, user-empowering spirit to craft my very first package: Zetteldeft. Inspired by sociologist Niklas Luhmann, I wanted to build a note system based on identifiers. So I built Zetteldeft: a Zettelkasten on top of Deft.
Around 2023 I took my notes elsewhere (in Emacs of course, but with Denote). The original tutorial “from within Zetteldeft” should stil work and the original “literate code” is still online, but I thought it was time to celebrate the computing freedom Emacs provides by writing a “post-mortem” reflection.
