Hi, my name is Zakaria.K, and this is my braindump. This repository contains my “Zettelkasten-based” working/study/reading notes. They’re in a messy state right now, but they’ll be improved as I get used to the method. The majority of them are literature notes that I took while reading.

I intend to create a dedicated website for them in the near future.

Have a good time!

Overview

What’s Zettelkasten ?

Zettelkasten is a note taking method that tries to mimic the brain neurons structure, invented by niklas luhman

Org-Roam

Resources

Their are two papers written by niklas luhman, and they are translated and uploaded on this site.
A dedicated site introducing and explaining the zettelkasten method.
a series of great videos by David Wilson on his channel “System Crafters”
“How to take smart notes” a book explaining the method.

org roam graph

i’m using org-roam-ui now with org-roam-v2,

this will be removed after the first stable version of org-roam-ui

(setq org-roam-graph-viewer
      (lambda (file)
        (let ((org-roam-graph-viewer "/usr/bin/brave"))
          (org-roam-graph--open (concat "file://///" file)))))

Deft

The Deft interface can slow down quickly when the number of files get huge.
Notdeft is a fork of Deft that uses an external search engine and indexer.

;; disable linum-mode (line number)
(add-hook 'deft
          '(lambda () (linum-mode nil)))
(use-package deft
  :commands (deft)
  :custom       (deft-directory "~/org/notes" )
  (deft-recursive t)
  (deft-extensions '("org" "md" "txt") )
  (deft-use-filename-as-title t)
