New blog post/video on my first Emacs package, space-tree!

"space-tree: Workspace Management Trees in Emacs"

This is a unique workspace management tool in Emacs as it allows for the hierarchical organization of workspaces.

There is a video demo; and lots of prose on how space-tree works, and the cognitive psychology that justifies the tree-like workspace design.

This is the capture flow with today's notes as the currently designated target

I still like to see a highlight when I yank so i do a `V`, grab a bunch of lines from whatever code I"m looking at and then <ldr>Wxs sends it to an accumulator, wrapped in the metadata of the source (major mode, location, parent etc)

<ldr>Wxw to pull the buffer up for contextualizing and <ldr>WxS sends it on its way

And then it's wherever you need it to be. Pull up today's notes in your editor later, or view them embedded in another page. Whatever it is, as long as it's texty

Went back from #doomemacs to my own #emacs configuration. There were just too many unknowns, too little documentation - basically too much magic.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116643132796222151

In 1990 Dr. Peter Lee's 15-212 course at #CarnegieMellon introduced me to Scheme. It's also when I first came to comprehend the power of #Emacs and #EmacsLisp.

In the first hour, Professor Lee demonstrated elegantly that everything is a list: data are lists and programs are lists. Every list returns a value, and functions are just lists that do calculations! Functions can return lists, of course, and so you can write functions that return functions!

I ran to the lab to hack Lisp: it wasn't in your pocket, it was in a room worth more than your parents' house. Nothing had ever seemed more natural: write, evaluate, repeat. Hack a nugget, nest lists, add parentheses, hack bigger things. But the magic thing where you write code that returns code remained a mystery: we did lots of cool stuff in that course, but we never got to macros.

Until 2026.

The surprise? The surprise is that as each decade passes, I grow to cherish lifelong learning as more and more precious.

@profoundlynerdy I am using git to manage every project folder, and I follow a standardized structure, described at https://schurch.ento.vt.edu/post/project_organization/. As a recent change, I just this past week experimented with Make to run R scripts and render reports via Emacs, rather than having an R script reaching out to bash. Emacs / Org-mode also renders to Word, so I can collaborate with others.

#Emacs #R #science

This is neat.

I've got this journaling system in emacs, it creates [journal|notes]-<date> nodes in my graph on first access through an emacs command, bound to a wee menu.

The graph has these things called virtual-fences. The regular code ones provide addressable functions in sort of a Markdown based Lambda, virtual-fences are APIs given to AST patterns in the prose itself. To-Do items and Tables for example with full control surfaces for toggling (🐌 Toodles, it's Toodles Y'all 🐌) and cell management (🪿 Goose Pong 🥤) etc.

So why not mix the two? Toodles is a thin CLI client that consumes To-Do vfences. A wee bit of fish to alias and voila:

quickly check what needs doing, toggle an item, view the whole day

Markdown updates next time you refresh from the graph in emacs. Tools should meet you where you are

[as long as where you are is super texty]

#emacs #orgmode

Alt...

stuff i should be doing today, most of it's the same as yesterday

Alt...

check my list, check my function toggle a thing, see progress

Alt...

i have done a thing [and planned another]

Alt...

wherever you are as long as its texty, they compose and shine

I love org-mode. I lived in it for years. I had Jira fully integrated by the time I was done, chords of metadata applied in a single keybind as we groomed our tickets in our morning meetings.

Living runbooks in org-babel are a great way to share with a team (if you can convince them to run emacs that is)

And that can be the problem...

This one's just an API with whatever you want as a client in front. Over time it's accumulated more or less the features I used to like. It's Wanderland's general headers + temporally ordered lines thing; todos, comments, my u6 boys soccer practice planning notes (and the notes I take about the kids, if I get a chance to stop running around for a moment)

And now it has an agenda :)

Borrowed a calendar from a friend

And the "cases" can be embedded wherever, there are full page and embeddable widgets, plus modelines for each that mirror the control service available in emacs or any other client

Neat

#emacs #orgmode #adhdevops

Alt...

an agenda, that doesn't take 80 lines of nested elisp to produce (super agenda wasn't /that/ bad)

Alt...

calendar, calendar, calendar

Alt...

add a note to a case there's also an org-capture like system that funnels captures from wherever into whatever is the current target, node or case, so you can scoop up context from wherever

Alt...

and of course embed them into whatever <task-case case-id="<whatever>"></task-case> is just a web component full screen with a modeline for working with, embedded view for remembering stuff with other things. whatever you need

@profoundlynerdy How to set up such a workflow? I've been developing many workflows in #Emacs since the late 1980s. Take that as encouragement, not discouragement!

Any pitfalls? Some people don't share my love of Emacs, I suppose. 🤣

Thanks for the shoutout, @slackline! Besides @rougier, there's also @ericsfraga, @randyridenour, @zamansky, oh now I'm starting to feel anxious because I'm certain I am forgetting people @kjhealy sorry to the rest

It's not about the product, it's about learning.

I just marginally improved one of my trivial little packages (that helps me a lot!).

I finally (finally) wrapped my head around the concept (and the syntax) of Lisp macros in #EmacsLisp. Finally.

@jtr I love this workflow. Software can automate things when they're repetitive. And software can support carefully handcrafting unique, thoughtful, individual artifacts. Sometimes the magic is not in eliminating steps, but by introducing new steps that foster deliberation.

#emacs

@profoundlynerdy There are a few academics that I'm aware of (and no doubt more I'm not!) who use Emacs.

Off the top of my head...

@jameshowell
@rougier

EmacsConf has had various talks that are relevant

https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/reference
https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/students
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/uni (from @jameshowell )
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/teaching
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/table

lots more talks of relevance too.

(I work in academia but as a research software engineer with no teaching nor paper authoring)

#emacs #academia

@profoundlynerdy #emacs, #orgmode, #orgroam and for the bibliography #zotero . All papers were in git tracked project directories, with a project file for tasks like "get that book" " read that book" or "rewrite that passage". Text got exported via org export and manually edited for the final draft.

Those of you with terminal and plain text first workflows, how did you handle academia? I'm imagining a mix of git, pandoc, and vimwiki or org-mode.

Is there a good article on how to setup such a workflow? Any pitfalls?

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.

#Emacs #orgmode #denote #email #writing

somehow i've never used `magit-git-show-refs` in #emacs #magit (also press `y` in the magit-status buffer)

makes it way easier to clean up after myself, i'm a messy mess with over 100 branches just laying around 😅

A Reddit post about the frustration of a developer who contributed #emacsclient support to #Gemini CLI, only for #Google to transition the tool to an enterprise-only, closed-source model shortly after.

[…] My takeaway is that in the future I will think very carefully before contributing again to non-FOSS projects.

https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1tkn8sw/emacsclient_landed_in_gemini_cli_and_why_i_wont/

Yes. Also, the small problem of Google and AI use in genocide and war crimes, but not a priority I guess.

#Gemini in #elpher on #Emacs

Alt...

An Emacs window with an elpher buffer, visible page is an introduction to the Gemini protocol. Both the Emacs window and the wallpaper behind it are in the Solarized dark color palette, with a few star-link shapes sprinkled on the wallpaper. No system tray visible, as I am running cwm with no polybar.

The #Memacs framework just learned how to get your #PodcastAddict #podcast episodes into your #Emacs #Orgmode with a new module:
https://github.com/novoid/Memacs

It's using the app's backup files which I have synchronized to my desktop anyhow:

uv --project path/to/memacs run memacs_podcastaddict --backup-dir /path/to/backup/PodcastAddict/ -o ~/org/memacs/podcasts.org_archive

My personal setup now has 2819 finished episodes on my agenda. 😲 👍

Journelly and OSM for Emacs are good together: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/25/journelly-and-osm-for-emacs.html

Fixed OSM in my Emacs after I tracked down the issue to be with visual-line-mode conflict. Been wanting to fix this for a while. While at it, wrote a quick function to pull LATITUDE/LONGITUDE from Journelly’s property drawers and feed them to osm-goto. Good stuff.

#emacs #orgmode #osm #maps #automation

me: I should be going to sleep...

also me: oh look, this mobile #Gemini browser actually works... I kind of like the gemspace... hmm, maybe I should open #Emacs and install #elpher and see if it works... it works, but I'd like to restore the buffer after I close the window... Saving Emacs Sessions, Easy Customization Interface... so I'm learning to restore a session... it works with buffers opening local files, but elpher still not getting restored... customized desktop-files-not-to-save, but still not working... maybe it's time for me to sleep...
