Looking at the amount of work some folks go to setting up Obsidian or Notion and TBH it’s comparable to the work done tweaking that perfect Emacs Org setup.

“Pretty” is a lot easier though.

@nixfreak Sure! Current config at http://randomgeekery.org/config/emacs/nano/

Keep in mind that Emacs isn’t my main editor, so there’s a lot of fumbling.

@nixfreak Oh it wasn’t too bad. I copied from nano-theme-light.el and adjusted for some reasonable Spaceduck colors.

@nixfreak using nano-emacs for my base has been a fantastic learning opportunity. Complex enough to be interesting, but not overwhelmingly different from Emacs defaults (my big challenge trying to explore Doom config details).

@nixfreak Interesting! Straight on its own hasn’t been too rough for me, but I’ve got it hidden behind use-package so I don’t have to think about it much.

Trying out logseq-mermaid-plugin. It’s a plugin, that lets you do Mermaid diagrams, in Logseq.

Useful!

Watching Lost in Space (2021) unspoiled. Saw Parker Posey show up onscreen and immediately knew which character she was playing.
