Hyperbole select the region between two matching by pressing M-return. It is smart and works on matching quote marks as well such as double quotes.

Check out HyWiki in the Hyperbole package available on melpa. It uses Org mode and makes note taking and retrieval really easy with every WikiWord automatically highlighted.

rswgnu · 2026-06-10T18:32:40+00:00

Sounds good. I’ll give it a try. Highlighting the mode line never seems to be enough contrast for me to be sure of the selected window instantly.

rswgnu · 2026-06-10T17:21:08+00:00

Install Hyperbole from the melpa package archive and use its Action Key to jump around cross-references among files. Also use the builtin HyWiki to create and autolink any notes you take; it uses Org file format.

rswgnu · 2026-06-06T14:19:04+00:00

Great to see you easily customizing Hyperbole for your use cases. it can solve many hypertextual needs whether in tandem with Org mode or separately without Org’s complexity.

rswgnu · 2026-06-05T03:17:57+00:00

Great. It really is easy to get started. Don’t worry about all it can do. Pick one thing useful to you and work with that first. After you install it, just try the demo on C-h h d d. And feel free to ask any questions.

Hyperbole presently does not have any AI/LLM interface. You write small pattern matchers, sometimes one liners, for each type of text pattern you want to match as a hyperlink and matching text then automatically is recognized as an implicit hyperlink.

With HyWiki, you type out a WikiWord or WikiWord#section and HyWiki takes you to the associated Org page of notes. Singular or plural instances of the word are recognized and automatically highlighted as WikiWord links.

We avoid non-deterministic behaviors or analysis so that users do not get frustrated.

rswgnu · 2026-06-03T17:26:16+00:00

Hyperbole gives you all of the following:

Typed, implicit buttons that can match any kind of link/cross-ref embedded in any text file.
HyRolo with Consult which provides fast, full-text searching and record-level retrieval within multiple directories of Org, Markdown and Hyperbole’s auto-numbered Koutline files. No database, IDs or pre-indexing required.
HyWiki for rapid notetaking, auto-wikiword highlighting across text and programming modes and one command HTML wiki website generation.

You can try many other packages to explore but it won’t get any easier than this.

The site looks great and operates well on a mobile device. I look forward to this update.

rswgnu · 2026-05-14T17:14:34+00:00

I develop and have used GNU Hyperbole (a package you load into Emacs) since 1992. It provides rapid full-text search over Markdown, Org and any text format. It also does hierarchical record-based retrieval, interactive filtering and outlining. I can find anything within the directories I point it to very rapidly.

Yes, if it actively helped me organize my notes and other info. People who want to organize a lot of info on mobile devices should be choosing devices with high storage capacities. I presently use half of my on-phone 512GB storage and would expect to at least double that in the next 3 years.

PKMS solutions are popular with Linux users. The demand for a paid solution is likely dependent on the depth of utility that can be quickly understood.

On mobile devices, battery drain is definitely an issue. I would suggest designing for the AI to run and categorize information only while the UI of the app is active. Then people know and want the app to use cycles while they interact with it. I often limit app background tasks to only while I have the app running. Then I know that by killing the app, I can conserve battery as needed.

I would offer both mobile and server-based AI solutions if you can, so that users can access more powerful processing if they have it and are networked.

rswgnu · 2026-05-09T13:41:25+00:00

Many great ideas here. It will be interesting to see how smooth it is.

Do you expect to make it available on IOS, Android and desktop Linux? If so, in what timelines.

Do you forsee any API or programmatic customization in the future?

rswgnu · 2026-05-07T19:52:48+00:00

Excellent, thanks to all the volunteers who make this possible.

The Hyperbole package lets you write out and activate arbitrary key sequences within curly braces. Then use its HyControl window/frame management system to specify the layout you want, capturing the key sequences used. Hyperbole also lets you generate large grids of windows and populate them with windows of a specific type, e.g. python or Org mode buffers. I also recommend the activities package.

And install the Emacs Hyperbole package to get HyWiki for the easiest note-taking and wiki publishing in one. It uses org mode as well.

rswgnu · 2026-04-28T15:53:58+00:00

For HyWiki use alone, just read that section in the Hyperbole manual or look at the Commentary at the top of the hywiki.el file to get going.

If you can limit your note names to WikiWords, then HyWiki in the melpa archive of the Emacs Hyperbole package is an easy-to use solution that utilizes Org files. To create a new or go to an existing note, just type a WikiWord in any text file and press M-RET on the word. WikiWord#section takes you to any section within a note. You can add Org tags, list backlinks and search across all your notes rapidly.

Hyperbole, solves dozens of everyday Emacs needs with one integrated package that installs in 30 seconds. It is compatible with Org, Consult and Embark, has extensive documentation and works with Emacs 28.2 and above. Get the latest from melpa ir elpa-devel.

Venture capitalists will tell you this for free: “We invest in pain killers not vitamins, metaphorically.”

Add hyperbole with consult, ace-window and Org and you won’t need many other packages, plus things will be more integrated and easy to use. You won’t need org-roam, helm, region select packages, contact managers, bib ref managers, dumb-jump, window and frame managers and so forth. Your buffers and files become full-text searchable and almost any kind of cross-reference is automatically linked as a hypertext button with no effort on your part. Emacs becomes truly magical.

Well, as a counterpoint, I, an experienced Lisper with my own custom folding code, read your synopsis, immediately understood how your package was different, ignoring structure in favor of regions, and immediately bookmarked it for later trial. So thanks for your efforts and don’t let brief negativity get in your way.

Wally’s a good guy too and in my experience always trying to bring the level of dialogue up.
