The packages available through list-packages that contain "tty" in the name or description are: clipetty, crappy-jsp-mode, file-info, glass-tty-theme, hatty, hima-theme, hyperkitty, ipretty, kkp, latex-pretty-symbols, melancholy-theme, mistty, mkdown, nubox, org-pretty-tags, ppp, pretty-hydra, pretty-mode, pretty-sha-path, pretty-speedbar, pretty-symbols, purty-mode and tabbar-ruler. There is no package "tty". Are you talking about emacs' own shell?
I've been struggling to on-ramp and sustain using Emacs for a while now. The paradigm shift from vim for me is frustratingly vast. I know I just need to give it the same patience I gave vim many years ago :)
Was in the same boat as you a couple of years ago. Now I use both daily. eMacs for GTD and vim for coding. I don’t like using a system without both installed :)
I really wanted to like the vim-beancount plugin but it's just too buggy for me, so I've always just come crawling back to beancount-mode in emacs. It's the only thing I use emacs for and I use evil mode for vim keybindings :)
Yeah I also noticed that even though I can accept a calendar invite from gnus in emacs, and the person inviting me sees that I've accepted, my own provider (fastmail) doesn't register me as having accepted in my fastmail calendar.
I've never tried debugging C# from within emacs (though eglot with omnisharp solves all the other IDE needs like goto, see references, renaming and such). I think you're more likely to find help on r/emacs or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79516308/how-to-debug-c-... or something for that.
Yeah - I mean I haven't been adding any new features recently, but mostly because the system just works. I'm using it daily and definitely fixing stuff if they break.
There is a format called todo.txt that works follows very readable syntax (like your own example) and has some minimal bells and whistles if you want it to: http://todotxt.org/
Can you expand on which org-mode features you like for this use case?
On the top of my head, among the useful features I'm familiar with, you can:
* nest tasks
* set deadlines
* set priorities
* filter ~arbitrarily
* have as much content as you want per item (in comparison with todotxt with is one line per item), including non-text like images
* have statuses other than todo and done (like waiting)
What else do you use that makes you particularly like this setup?
Org-mode is this thing I've been trying to use for a while, but it never sticks because I'm just too used to vim and plain text. Once in a while I look for a killer use-case, hoping it'd make me stick to it, to no avail so far.
If you don't feel like you need the extra bells and whistles don't worry about it. The great thing about org-mode is it _is_ just plain text and all the magic is in the interpretation of the plain text. If you have yourself a table and one day ya want to do some spreadsheet magic on it or pipe it into a script easily, you can just check the manual for how to do it and KO it right there in the same place the data lives. Remembering how to do it afterwards is optional.
Personally, I use lazyvim in neovim and doom emacs in emacs and just kinda switch between the two based on what I feel like in a given day. NeoVim tends to have better treesitter/LSP stuff as well as marginally better performance, doom emacs has way better test running and org-mode and it is only a little behind neovim in that other stuff.
All the above is to suggest I think the question is flawed. BUT! To answer the question literally, my favorite thing in org mode that I've never seen anywhere else is the ability to dump babel blocks in my notes with code samples that are actually runnable and the output is able to be piped somewhere else.
I too have used org-mode for a while and here are some additional features which may pique your interest:
- agenda views let me create custom pages of tasks with certain states or tags
- a robust time tracking system. I use this for my freelancing work
- very nice text tables that are programmable
- a very customizable capturing system
- a huge ecosystem of plugins
- a programmable API: I'm currently working on an importer for the DayOne app as well as a fitness tracking package
- PDF export with LaTeX. I can use this for printing out my weekly plan for example
- in addition to deadlines, a scheduled property for when you intend to start a task
- extensive linking system (https://orgmode.org/guide/Hyperlinks.html#External-Links-1) I often have todos linking to places in code
I think that org-mode could use better learning resources. There's pretty much the manual and blog posts by experienced users, neither are especially aimed towards new users.
There's a great meme with the classic intelligence bell curve setup where the "grug" and the "elite" sides both use a plain text file with their own ideas of how to do things, and only the "midwit" in the middle is using a huge pile of tooling to accomplish roughly the same thing.
I too went through the phase of using Dendron and Obsidian as well as more common todo list tools (and tickets)... and here I am back at Apple Notes, whose sole advantage over a text file is that it has enough capabilities to store a screenshot. That's all I really needed. My notes are like the classic notebook: a lot of the time it's write-only, a lot of the time it only has to be able to be understood for a week or two before the information is too old to matter anyway.
>There's a great meme with the classic intelligence bell curve setup
This meme has taken on the character of the "Einstein was bad at math and school" urban legend. Yes, you can overthink it, but you can also under-think it if you picture yourself to be some romantic-era genius sitting in a heap of notes. If you want to go meta you might as well put the usage of that meme on the middle of the curve.
You don't need 15 note taking apps but it does pay off to invest in at least a bit of a system (I'd recommend https://johnnydecimal.com/ because it takes about an hour to set up), because you're not actually the 150 IQ guy and you probably benefit from a bit of structure (as do most very intelligent people in real life)
> it does pay off to invest in at least a bit of a system
Sorry, but the whole point of the meme is that you get stuck in this mindset and you think you're talking to the grug side making your argument, when you might actually be talking to someone who's emerged from the far side of this particular Dunning-Kruger test.
As I said, I've been through the systems, I've been mindful, I've made connections and structure, I wrote my own wiki software half a lifetime ago... and in the end... there's just not that much value to it, I found. I don't really find much in my old notes that ever helps me enough to be worth the additional effort.
For a while, when I had an office, I enjoyed a post-it note based "system" where I'd just stick notes in places around my monitor, which is ugly and I hate seeing them, so they get done in order to help me clean up. I'd do that again if I had an office again...
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I have several TODO items on my current project for fixing HMI screens. Those will be performed by one of my teammates. I could easily embed images into the org-mode document I use.
Unfortunately for him, the HMI is air-gapped so getting screenshots is cumbersome. He'll have to make do with my notes.
If I ever create a trendy SaaS company (or an untrendy one for that matter), I'm definitely cribbing the 'pay more if you have accountants on staff' criteria... love it!
A lot of this comes down to A/B testing. Once people have found a solution that converts some number of customers, it's hard to take risks. There are alternative designs, but it's safest to just go with what is known. In some cases, the familiarity is helpful for users, but there is no denying that it can be boring. These are the unfortunate constraints that many talented people have to work in.
Investor Portal Software Solutions from Investor Portal Pro are custom, built on customer AWS accounts, and based on a toolkit. We'll soon be launching a SaaS version, but not sure I want the pricing pages like these. I want a single price point (per user) that takes people right into the software after paying.
Simplicity is tough, and it's hard to understand which option would be more affordable without a pricing 'calculator'.
Here's our current pricing page (for the on-prem) version
And we wonder why code generating LLMs are... wait, never mind, we don't wonder. Of course, my pricing page looks different for now but will end up looking much the same since that's what visitors generally expect.
Love Pentel Graphear 1000, have multiple distributed throughout the house/workshop and backpacks :)
The other I really like is UNI Kuru Toga, the plastic one (shrug). The twist mechanism actually works; it is slightly wider thus more comfortable (for me) for longer writing sessions.
The twist mechanism really does work, but unfortunately it is easy to damage (for me). I damaged two kuru togas in the span of 6 months, very frustrating. The twist still works, but it is very wonky.
In my case - as my basic Kuru Toga died last week, the plastic of the casing just under the mechanism / just at the end of the body next to the rim broke down - because of the pressure i'm assuming, still a great pencil. I'm buying the advance one next.
I use Numerals(1) in Obsidian for this, and it works great. It's built on mathjs(2) and has things like @total functions which automatically sum all uninterrupted lines above it.
It doesn't hurt to list alternative products, right? Understanding the competition and lacking features. Mine isn't the only post in this thread mentioning other products that do roughly the same thing.
I have used Wallabag[0] for read-later articles for many years. Very happy about it. I host it on a VPS but they offer a paid instance[1] themselves for $9/y. And otherwise you can use something like Pikapods[2] which is also dirt cheap.
