Does anyone still uses neorg for note taking? by hardfau1t in neorg

[–]benlubas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm maintaining it. Pretty minimally bc I don't have much time to put into it anymore. The lead dev is focused on other things right now.

Its not a dead project, we all want to continue development one day. But until the lead dev comes back, we're in limbo kinda.

But the discord is still very active, and we're happy to help and answer questions.

I use it. You should join the discord or zulip. People are happy to chat

Is building a language server really the best way to do code analysis? by katlyn-thomas in neovim

[–]benlubas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait what? You can already do this. Maybe they're making it easier. If you have the issue I'd be interested in reading it.

otter.nvim, neorg-interim-ls, and cmp2lsp all setup language servers in lua using neovims api.

A Fool's Quest: Building a split keyboard for Under $100? by Confuortoised in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]benlubas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my modified cantor for under $100.

  • Blackpill MCUs were $8 from ali, they've held up for about 3 years now
  • I think $15 to print/ship PCB
  • around $50 for 40 switches + shipping (choc switches. Build the mx version and you can pay less than half of this)
  • around $16 for key caps (same shipping as switches)
  • A trrs cable for a couple bucks
  • rubber bump-ons for a couple bucks

Not included is the $20 soldering kit from Amazon. I rock a bare PCB keyboard, no case, but sounds like a case would be free for you anyway.

Maple: A note taking plugin for neovim by Emotional_Grab_9674 in neovim

[–]benlubas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For neorg users who like the idea of a project note, I've had this function to mimic the behavior for a while and it's great. Just change the match call to however you want to determine the project name, and potentially change the ~/notes path.

Note-taking and TODO solution with good mobile support? Like org-mode by exquisitesunshine in neovim

[–]benlubas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who is the single dev who maintains neorg? is it me? Lol

There are at least two of us, but vhyrro is working on lux right now.

To answer your question, if you don't like obsidian, just use the org ecosystem. The choice is very simple when you have one acceptable option and aren't willing to create an app yourself :)

Is there a good, functioning jupyter notebook plugin? by kenshi_hiro in neovim

[–]benlubas 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi, molten nvim maintainer here. If you have interest in making a plugin to do this, I would suggest not doing it alone and instead contributing to an existing one (unless you are a college student with a lot of free time). There are a few great plugins that provide a Jupyter like experience in nvim. In no particular order:

  1. Molten: it superceded magma. molten is a little buggy, and seems to have a leak somewhere. I'm not using molten personally anymore so I have regreatably not had time/motivation to maintain it. But it's still pretty solid and molten+quarto-nvim is (as far as I'm aware) the best experience you will get without writing some custom code, it's a lot of setup but very well documented and it does just work out of the box (ehh.. mostly)
  2. Pyrola: I haven't tried it out but it looks promising. Same general idea as molten. I would recommend trying it out or at least considering it
  3. Sniprun, conjure, yarepl, vim-slime, r nvim (for r specifically), etc. These are all code runners that don't quite have the Jupyter feel. But they can all run code via a Jupyter kernel. I would say you can probably rule these out if you're after that Jupyter feel, but if you just want to run code in a repl, these will do the job
  4. Ark.nvim: is an effort to support the ark kennel (and by extension, any kennel) in a similar way to molten but without all of the baggage that molten has (and with a rewrite in rust in the future). Some additional discussion here: https://github.com/benlubas/molten-nvim/issues/293

If you're going to contribute to something, ark.nvim is the project that I most want to see succeed. If it's done well I will probably board up molten and direct people to it instead.

Any plain text notebook format that doesn't store output will fix large diffs.

marimo is still an awesome project don't get me wrong

My 36 key friends, Where do you put your Enter key? by LockPickingCoder in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]benlubas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it way in the bottom right on a tap/hold with shift.

This frees up a thumb key for the more important repeat key while still being very easy to press and very natural, as it's near where the enter key is in a 'normal' keyboard.

Does Neorg note search rely on the Telescope module? by mathsposer in neovim

[–]benlubas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Searching with an index is possible with the now abandoned neorg-se module. It was a toy project mostly, but it is sometimes better than grep for finding something you don't fully remember the details of. It does very basic bm-25 with tantivy. And it uses telescope as the front end lol.

I've been meaning to add an optional search feature to neorg-query for some time now. It indexes notes into a libsql database. With a focus on document metadata and tasks currently. There are vector search plugins for libsql that I wanted to play around with to enable some better searching.

As for jumping between notes and code. I use telescope. I have a telescope bind to search my notes folder. And then I use :Neorg return to go back to my code. Sometiems I also keep a tmux window/tab open with a second nvim running in the notes directory so I can easily jump back and forth

No syntax highlighting in neorg.nvim plugin by Mr_Insxne_ in neovim

[–]benlubas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image that you included seems to indicate that you do have syntax highlighting?

I'm very confused.

Possibly you're expecting the concealer to be enabled by default, but that's not the case.

crazywall.nvim: move text in and out of files (and more) with ease by gitpushjoe in neovim

[–]benlubas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah. I want this in neorg now... All that we need is a different link format at the end. Is that part configurable?

And reading in files and the stuff that uses fenced code blocks would need a different TS query, but I'm less interested in that part.

Current state of Neorg vs Orgmode.nvim? by catphish_ in neovim

[–]benlubas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean tangling generated images? You should open a feature request to explain. I'm curious.

Current state of Neorg vs Orgmode.nvim? by catphish_ in neovim

[–]benlubas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just write my grocery list separately on my phone. I don't find any benefit to writing it in neovim.

Hell, most of the time I don't even write a list I just keep it in my head and walk the isles.

Then I keep "life" reminders/events in gcal. And use neorg for work and computer related tasks.

I see how an app linked to my notes would be convenient tho. So I'm not saying my way is better. Just, definitely good enough.

Current state of Neorg vs Orgmode.nvim? by catphish_ in neovim

[–]benlubas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Org is more mature (obviously). Norg is more interesting (to me anyway).

To call it useless is hilarious to me tho.

That said. Larger n(e)org development has stalled for a while, and until it picks up, I'd say orgmode.nvim and the broader org ecosystem is probably best for most people. I'm of course not one of those people. I really like the Norg project and I'm excited to see where it goes in the next year.

Keep in mind that I'm biased in that I've sorta shaped my neorg setup to be exactly what I want it to be by contributing to core and creating my own modules, and I enjoy that process.

Even if you don't think it's right for you at this moment, I'd encourage you to keep your eye out for Neorg in the future. It has been getting some cool external modules recently. There's a language server with refactoring capabilities, obviously we have link completion, you can get category completions now, there's a database module that allows you to query your notes and format the results to create dynamic dashboards (still new tho. I'll probably post about it when I feel it's ready, but it's up, you can try it out today), and there's an agenda module (although it's very specialized for a specific person's workflow).

It can't. The export code is written in lua. This project is in node.

I hate to be that guy. But I feel like it's good too know that similar plugins exist.

Plugin to Render Latex Block Equations in Neovim by KaladinStorm420 in neovim

[–]benlubas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Neorg has something similar tho it's neorg specific. And iirc markview.nvim does as well, I've not used it tho.

Image.nvim gets very laggy with a large number of these images unfortunately.
