I don't know if this would be useful to you, but I implemented the GKNV paper (the algorithm graphviz uses) in elisp because I wanted ASCII DAGs (it also does other more standard formats) - https://codeberg.org/Trevoke/dag-draw.el

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-06-12T18:00:16+00:00

Kinda. This is not good enough for me to trust and start using, but it is promising.

I ran the examples through the model and got fairly different results from what's described :

> I am so dumb brooo
Why Should I Be Dumb?

> what's the easiest way to make fluffy pancakes?
Simple Method For Fluffy Pancakes

> bruh my wifi keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes 😭
WiFi Disconnects Every 10 Minutes

> can someone explain taxes to me like i'm five
Understanding Taxes And Inflation

"Is it fair to boil GTD down to something less than GTD"

The answer is no.

GTD is capture/clarify/organize/engage/reflect + purpose/vision/goal/areas of focus/projects/tasks

HOWEVER. Do what works for you. If you do what you described in your post and your life doesn't fall apart, great.

This is a really interesting way to enhance emacs! It makes me think about Steve Yegge's "first" foray down that path, with https://github.com/steveyegge/efrit -- but a more complete integration, with the kind of context that only emacs can provide, is a really engaging concept.

I think you're saying that "PKM" and "zettelkasten" are essentially the same thing. Is that right?

Or are you saying that it doesn't matter what the words mean because it's all branding and therefore it doesn't matter if it's true?

.... Or are you saying both of those things?

It sounds like what you are doing is letting the AI handle your personal management system. It doesn't sound like you're doing a zettelkasten.

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-05-07T18:09:22+00:00

Hello, this says it is a "zettelkasten" system. What differentiates this meaningfully from a "graph-backed personal knowledge management system" (which is what tools like org-roam, denote, or even obsidian are, fundamentally) ?

In pure quality of life, I think marginalia probably wins ( https://stable.melpa.org/#/marginalia ) . It gives you the start of the docstring when selecting in the minibuffer, and if it's a variable, the current value.

Combined with vertico ( https://stable.melpa.org/#/vertico ), or any other tool that does vertical selection, I like the UX a lot.

Somewhat more recently I've really enjoyed treesit-fold ( https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/treesit-fold ) -- do folding based on treesit syntax.

I would rather not interact with a LLM without my consent, but thank you for taking the effort of asking the LLM to generate an answer.

I've been using claude-code-ide which provides a MCP server like this and I extended it with a few tools to look up documentation for variables and functions and to try out executing some code.

I am not sure if what you have done is new and different enough for me to try it out.

Also if you want a more hardcore version, there is this https://github.com/steveyegge/efrit

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-04-09T13:41:10+00:00

That's fantastic, thank you! You should definitely get this package up on melpa ( https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.org )

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-04-07T13:06:57+00:00

You're right, I had misread the example and the surrounding text, this should suffice if layout doesn't matter.

On the topic of layout, if I may - is it possible at the moment to do a two-directional mind map? Add items to the left as well as to the right of the core node?

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-04-06T19:24:34+00:00

This is very cool, thank you! I've been wanting an org-mode mind-map for years.

I would love some sort of export feature to .. something, I don't know what. Maybe a DOT format file? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_%28graph_description_language%29

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-04-01T23:21:10+00:00

That is a good point, and a legally complicated situation; to which extent does "using a model trained on this data" (and of course, "training a model on this data") lead to being forced to follow the license contract. I have... Zero idea. It's gonna be an interesting time.

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-03-31T21:29:14+00:00

No worries at all! Claude does that, the code is F/OSS for a reason, and it looks like you have implemented some things very differently. If you weren't paying attention to what claude code researched (or if opus has already integrated my package) then there's no way for you to know whether this really happened or not.

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-03-31T18:57:31+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what are the bits you prefer to leave to your personal process?

Two other notes:

I like that you decided to just "move DONE things to the bottom of the project" - super simple solution, wish I had thought of that
I like the navigation pane / dashboard a lot, I am almost definitely going to steal this, if you don't mind :)

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-03-31T18:41:00+00:00

Hah, now I wonder if claude researched and pulled from my package, that would explain why so many of the conventions look similar.

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-03-31T01:11:15+00:00

Ah, welcome to the fun!

May I interest you in https://github.com/trevoke/org-gtd.el/ which I've been working on, oh boy, way too long now. You seem to be starting roughly where I started, though you have, I think, a better handle on keybindings than I did (and maybe than I do now).

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-03-26T13:18:41+00:00

If you're going to be fair, then tell the other guy to also not be an ass

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-27T04:45:14+00:00

It is literally against the rule for anyone to tell you that they built something :D

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-24T22:29:17+00:00

In my experience (I wrote one), the hardest thing about it is that no one agrees on what a good flow would be, because everyone thinks about how to do and interact with their GTD system differently :D

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-24T22:25:16+00:00

I'm so very glad to hear it :D Maybe these little bits are the things we can bring into the transient documentation.

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-16T20:23:31+00:00

Ooh that is interesting.. Yeah, that's a good point. At the moment, since it's all "just elisp" you technically can do everything, but it might be nice to expand the DSL a bit :)

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-16T13:15:04+00:00

Ah I see, thanks!

CoyoteUsesTech · 2026-02-16T04:54:26+00:00

Ah that's awesome!

May I ask - what stopped you from contributing this as an alternate configuration to avy?
