A number of packages work well combined with Org-Roam:
Deft
Deft provides a nice interface for browsing and filtering org-roam notes.
(use-package deft
:after org
:bind
("C-c n d" . deft)
:custom
(deft-recursive t)
(deft-use-filter-string-for-filename t)
(deft-default-extension "org")
(deft-directory "/path/to/org-roam-files/"))
If the title of the Org file is not the first line, you might not get
nice titles. You may choose to patch this to use org-roam
's
functionality. Here I'm using el-patch:
(use-package el-patch
:straight (:host github
:repo "raxod502/el-patch"
:branch "develop"))
(eval-when-compile
(require 'el-patch))
(use-package deft
;; same as above...
:config/el-patch
(defun deft-parse-title (file contents)
"Parse the given FILE and CONTENTS and determine the title.
If `deft-use-filename-as-title' is nil, the title is taken to
be the first non-empty line of the FILE. Else the base name of the FILE is
used as title."
(el-patch-swap (if deft-use-filename-as-title
(deft-base-filename file)
(let ((begin (string-match "^.+$" contents)))
(if begin
(funcall deft-parse-title-function
(substring contents begin (match-end 0))))))
(org-roam--get-title-or-slug file))))
The Deft interface can slow down quickly when the number of files get huge. Notdeft is a fork of Deft that uses an external search engine and indexer.
Org-journal
Org-journal is a more
powerful alternative to the simple function org-roam-today
. It
provides better journaling capabilities, and a nice calendar interface
to see all dated entries.
(use-package org-journal
:bind
("C-c n j" . org-journal-new-entry)
:custom
(org-journal-date-prefix "#+TITLE: ")
(org-journal-file-format "%Y-%m-%d.org")
(org-journal-dir "/path/to/org-roam-files/")
(org-journal-date-format "%A, %d %B %Y"))
Note-taking Add-ons
These are some plugins that make note-taking in Org-mode more enjoyable.
Org-download
Org-download lets you screenshot and yank images from the web into your notes:
(use-package org-download
:after org
:bind
(:map org-mode-map
(("s-Y" . org-download-screenshot)
("s-y" . org-download-yank))))
mathpix.el
mathpix.el uses Mathpix's API to convert clips into latex equations:
(use-package mathpix.el
:straight (:host github :repo "jethrokuan/mathpix.el")
:custom ((mathpix-app-id "app-id")
(mathpix-app-key "app-key"))
:bind
("C-x m" . mathpix-screenshot))
Org-noter / Interleave
Org-noter and Interleave are both projects that allow synchronised annotation of documents (PDF, EPUB etc.) within Org-mode.
Org-ref
Org-ref does citation and bibliography management in Org-mode, and a great tool for scientific notes.
Spaced Repetition
Org-fc is a spaced repetition system that scales well with a large number of files. Other alternatives include org-drill, and pamparam.
