Alternative implementations and further reading

This section covers blog posts and implementations from the Emacs community about the topic of note-taking and file organization. They may refer to some of the packages covered in the previous section or provide their custom code (Alternatives to Denote). The list is unsorted.

• José Antonio Ortega Ruiz (aka “jao”) explains a note-taking method that is simple like Denote but differs in other ways. An interesting approach overall: https://jao.io/blog/simple-note-taking.html.
• Jethro Kuan (the main ‘org-roam’ developer) explains their note-taking techniques: https://jethrokuan.github.io/org-roam-guide/. Good ideas all round, regardless of the package/code you choose to use.
• Karl Voit’s tools date2name, filetags, appendfilename, and move2archive provide a Python-based implementation to organize individual files which do not require Emacs. His approach (blog post and his presentation at GLT18) has been complemented by memacs to process e.g., the date of creation of photographs, or the log of a phone call in a format compatible to org.
