Org-Roam

This is an auxilliary post collating resources for the recent video I posted …

The Pipeline

1. All the ideas, resources that I want to process, any miscellaneous questions I have, are fed into the input-queue in the buffer
2. All the manipulation takes place in these buffers - they’re org-files and I use org-roam to maintain the connections
3. whenever a node set ripens and is worth sharing, I write a post or publish a video.
4. It can go both ways : I can force a set into maturity if I wish to publish something specific or I may chance upon a concept when observing connections.

Observations

I use org-roam-ui to visualize the buffer and check for linkages that might result in something useful. I also want to publish this graph (demonstrated in video) but there’s no explicit solution for that yet and I’m planning to build one myself with rust and webassembly as a compilation target.

I use emacs for a lot of my daily tasks and spend majority of my time in it. This is a review of some significant components of my init.el

;keyboard all the way
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)

;I don't like distractions
(setq byte-compile-warnings '(cl-functions))
(setq ring-bell-function 'ignore)
(setq visible-bell t)

I chose the most recently engineered package-management solution when I began with emacs, haven’t switched since and don’t think I’ll need to. Migrating from vim, I preferred a configuration file rather than installations via melpa interface. Also, freezing and thawing is cool : exact reproducibility is guaranteed.
