Subject: org-velocity --- something like Notational Velocity for Org
Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:25:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87631vdcjj.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
There exists a notetaking program for OSX called Notational Velocity (http://notational.net/) with an ingeniously simple interface. (I say "there exists" since I've never actually used it.) When you enter a search phrase, the program lists all notes where the phrase occurs; if there are no matching notes, then the search phrase is used as the title of a new note.
When I read about this I thought it would be straightforward to create a similar interface for Emacs, storing the notes in Org format. Each note is simply a heading in a file. The mode line is used to read a search, a display buffer shows the results, and (optionally) org-remember is used to record new notes. You can use the interface to maintain a single "bucket" file, or to navigate any Org file.
The package is available at http://gopher.ruricolist.com/lisp/org-velocity.el.
It works for me but of course any feedback or suggestions would be
welcome.
