How do you guys save Slack messages which you want to either read or follow up at a later stage?

1. I was manually dumping the the link and manually adding the title. 2. Slack lists seems to be okayish but doesn't let me tag easily. Message is not highlighted as much as Later feature does. 3. Trying out Notion but it doesn't show message upfront.

What is the good solution to sync text files? I haven't found a good solution that is open source and self-hosted. Ideally, eventually, my setup should give me real time syncing the same level as multiple people editing the same file. But that is a stretch goal.

I am currently using Syncthing but unfortunately it's client app has been removed from Google Play [1]. I am managing with Syncthing-Fork.

org-roam is pretty good. I came from Obsidian and wanted to build out some extra personal features for Bible notes.

I made the switch to org-roam because i wanted to use elisp to develop instead of JS obsidian plugins.

It took me a while to get over the learning curve but I’m very happy with it

The number of apps that offer note-taking functionality is exploding. It solidifies Emacs' community's point of view that all these custom tailored solutions become a limiting factor for many. But to learn Emacs and Elisp is not trivial.

* Any particular resources you followed to learn Elisp.

* What sort of time investment did it require for you to build your own system based out of Emacs?

* How are you syncing your files?

How different does it feel to take notes on Rm2 compared to pen and paper? Can you be equally effective on taking handwritten notes on Rm2?

I use org mode and sync with a git repository. Thoughtfully emacs and git are both approved.

Do you have any hooks setup to automatically commit/push if file changes are detected?

For the never-ending text file for todos and work journal, I've found great success with org-mode, especially since deadlines automatically end up in my calendar with org-agenda. The outline format of org-mode is quite nice and it took all of 1 day to learn the key commands for making / manipulating the outline, creating links, and cycling through TODO states (using Doom emacs made the start super easy since I already know vi and didn't have to also learn the text editing commands).

I've also found the concept of an "inbox" from the Zettelkasten method very helpful. Anytime something comes up that's not yet in my system, I add it to the inbox for later processing (org-capture on my computer, and beorg on my phone). This way, note entry doesn't require a full context switch. I then just make sure to regularly drain my inbox.

I don't use emacs currently for anything but org-mode but I'm far happier with this than I was with a never ending `.md` file.

How does one hide completed tasks from org mode?

It's surprising how many devs are trying to overoptimize for productivity with various fancy tools and techniques, when it actually comes down to simple basics.

Here is what I rely on as a founder who does a lot of context switching:

- a never-ending text file for todos and work journal [0]

- calendar for planning (and blocking focus time)

- website blocker

- turned off notifications

How do/would you use it over various systems? What's the best way to cloud sync this? One might have to use it on work machine with restrictions around installing apps.

I am still using Orgzly because it supports Dropbox.

I guess it would lack a web interface for me to quickly download a single picture/video.
