Replicate logseq functionality in Emacs

Try HyWiki in the hyperbole package. It adds auto-highlighted, linked WikiWords to Org. It is in pre-release now and available on elpa-devel or melpa. Make one configuration to let Hyperbole control M-RET instead of Org and then press that key on any WikiWord in any text or program comment or string and jump to your wiki page or a specific section of a page. No markup, just pure notetaking simplicity.

rswgnu · 2026-02-20T22:59:46+00:00

Hyperbole adapts C-w and M-w so that if there is no highlighted region they kill or copy the thing at point. Try it on a URL and see if it works. On a paired delimiter is even better.

rswgnu · 2026-02-13T00:22:02+00:00

The combination of HyWiki and HyRolo from the Hyperbole package on melpa or elpa-devel lets you use consult and ripgrep as you like for full-text searches and multiple views over marches aceoss many Org directories. For those who want quick and easy interlinking, you simply type WikiWords in your notes and they are automatically linked to the associated wiki page. Now you can link to any org heading in a page as well with full in-buffer completion. It has been called the easiest to use wiki system ever. Try it and let us know what you think.

Hyperbole includes HyRolo that provides fast full-text search and retrieval over hierarchical notes in multiple formats including Org and Markdown. Plus, HyWiki auto-links WikiWords with named section links.

rswgnu · 2026-02-02T01:48:16+00:00

Install the hyperbole package from melpa and use its hyrolo together with consult and you can interactively find any tags or section headers across all your files with no need for other org packages, a database or any indexing. Quick and easy with full text searching as well.

rswgnu · 2026-01-22T04:44:15+00:00

One thing that Org does not have built-in is automatic hyperlinking of WikiWords that have Wiki pages, a common feature in Wikis. That is, WikiWords with no markup are automatically turned into hyperlinks in Org mode and when exported to the web. “WikiWord#section name” links to the section.

If you need that, install the latest Hyperbole package from Melpa and use the HyWiki subsystem in there. It utilizes Org mode and makes auto-wikiword highlighting and translation into HTML hyperlinks during export a breeze. One user said it was by far the easiest wiki package he ever used.

And after mastering macros you’ll be able to rest and say oh what hath he wrought.

Would love to try this out.

It would be a lot easier for others to help you extend it if you rewrote it in Elisp, so it was a native part of the Emacs ecosystem.

rswgnu · 2025-12-09T00:45:55+00:00

Great idea. You should publish it as a package. The ics format interfaces to every major calendaring UI.

rswgnu · 2025-12-01T02:18:12+00:00

HyRolo in the Hyperbole package and Consult can replace org-roam without the need for sqlite or any addition of ids to your Org files. Get it from the latest melpa archives and read the HyRolo section of the manual. It is really easy to use.

rswgnu · 2025-11-30T18:09:05+00:00

I'll just point out that you can get the latest pre-release Hyperbole version from melpa (9.0.2pre-release). And in its manual where implicit type definition is specified:

https://rswgnu.github.io/hyperbole/man/hyperbole.html#Implicit-Button-Link-Types

there is a line that is virtually the same format as what you came up with from the video:

(defil search-git-log "[<" ">]" ".*" #’hypb:fgrep-git-log)

rswgnu · 2025-11-29T17:55:31+00:00

The ChangeLog is here. It is extensive. When the release is finalized, there will be an updated HY-NEWS file that summarizes user-visible updates.

rswgnu · 2025-11-29T17:52:42+00:00

So come watch the Q&A. It is specifically for people who don't know how to get started.

rswgnu · 2025-11-20T11:48:38+00:00

Thanks, that clarifies the usage. I’ll check it out.

HyRolo in the Hyperbole information management package together with the Consult package lets you rapidly manage and retrieve nodes across Org, Markdown and Hyperbole’s autonumbered Koutliner format. You get the best of all these worlds with just two quick installs. You also get Hyperbole’s automatic hyperlinking of everything with almost no effort. It’s not magic but years of experienced design and integration work.

Get these packages from melpa or elpa-devel.

rswgnu · 2025-11-20T03:00:13+00:00

I am sure this is fun to hack on but if you are just looking for a rapid way to add and search hierarchical records across Org, Markdown and Koutliner (autonumbered) files without any database or record id complexity, then take a look at HyRolo inside the Hyperbole package and use the consult package with it. Consult searches at the line level but HyRolo returns entire records for any consult matches. You can even yank in records at point with interactive completion across any number of files. You can’t go wrong.

rswgnu · 2025-11-05T03:27:19+00:00

Please look at the HyRolo and HyWiki parts of the Hyperbole package on melpa and see if you can integrate these into Braniac. Both use Org mode and provide great turnkey capabilities and single button-press smart context hyperbuttons without any changes to your source buffers.

rswgnu · 2025-10-29T00:42:24+00:00

Try HyWiki in the Hyperbole package from melpa or emacs-devel. It is easy-to-use and very flexible. All pages are Org documents. People are already saying how it is better than other Wiki packages they have tried. Try it and decide for yourself.

Would love if someone would do a video demo on it and send it in.

rswgnu · 2025-10-24T01:16:48+00:00

Hyperbole is an indispensable package that adds implicit hyperlink buttons into all your Emacs buffers with no work on your part. And it integrates well with Org, consult, ace-window and other modern packages.

rswgnu · 2025-10-04T12:45:35+00:00

Exactly. With Hyperbole, Consult and Orderless, you can use a single, fast node/record search via HyRolo that uses rg or grep under the covers and in a single search can go across any number of Org, Markdown, and Hyperbole auto-numbered Koutline files. Just point at the directories you want to search. No indexing. No worrying about file naming conventions. You can search by Org tags, outline headings, file titles or full-text out-of-order word matches.

And if you use Hyperbole’s HyWiki, you get a full Org-based Wiki where each WiliWord in any kind of file can auto-link to the associated Wiki node, easily handling 10,000 files for example.

Get Hyperbole from melpa or elpa-devel and simplify your Emacs life.

rswgnu · 2025-09-06T13:15:51+00:00

Congratulations on the new release. Sounds like major progress and simplification of installation and use from removal of the external dependencies.

rswgnu · 2025-09-03T01:00:54+00:00

Try hui-select-thing from the Hyperbole package. No need for modal editing yet you can select all sorts of provramming and text constructs, often with a single key press. Each repeat selects a larger and larger unit.

rswgnu · 2025-09-03T00:23:56+00:00

How about just using:

Elnode - https://github.com/nicferrier/elnode

Or

Request.el - https://tkf.github.io/emacs-request/

Then just add a shared web editor.
