Just wanted to use this platform/thread to advertise the awesomeness of Org mode (+ Emacs).

(Probably best viewed when clicked and zoomed.)

Salient features:

  • You don’t need to repeat things not needed repeating… like resources metadata and the table that’s repeated across pages that you see in the screenshot.
  • Front-matter stays TOML/YAML agnostic; a lot of front-matter is extracted natural-Org style: title, tags, etc.

Here’s another Org file example that shows 10 collapsed posts from my https://scripter.co blog:

What you see there:

  • Right aligned Org tags: :@unix: becomes "unix" category (tags with @ prefix). :javascript: becomes "javascript" tag, and so on…
  • Posts that have “DONE” prefix in title have draft set to false.
  • Posts that have “TODO” prefix in title have draft set to true.
  • The Org headings (with deeper indented * are sections/subsections in those posts). You can compare the text in the “* DONE Git diff Minified…” post in this screenshot with the HTML version to understand what I mean.

… finally the meme images you see on all those links are of course created in Emacs :sunglasses:

Phew, took a while to contruct this post… but this is just the tip of the iceberg of what all Org can do :slight_smile:
