Link org-id entries into a network
What is Org-node?
If you were the sort of person to prefer "id:" links over "file:"
links or any other type of link, you're in the right place!
Now you can rely on IDs and worry less about mentally tracking your
subtree hierarchies and directory structures. As long as you've
assigned an ID to something, you can find it later.
The philosophy is the same as org-roam: if you assign an ID every
time you make an entry that you know you might want to link to from
elsewhere, then it tends to work out that the `org-node-find' command
can jump to more or less every entry you'd ever want to jump to.
Pretty soon you've forgot that your files have names.
Anyway, that's just the core of it as described to someone not
familiar with zettelkasten-ish packages. In fact, out of the
simplicity arises something powerful, more to be experienced than
explained.
Compared to org-roam:
- Same idea, compatible disk format
- Faster
- Does not need SQLite
- Does not support "roam:" links
- Lets you opt out of those file-level property drawers
- Ships extra commands to e.g. auto-rename files and links
- Tries to rely in a bare-metal way on upstream org-id and org-capture
As a drawback of relying on org-id-locations, if a heading in some
vendor README.org or whatever has an ID, it's considered part of
your collection -- simply because if it's known to org-id, it's
known to org-node.
These headings can be filtered after-the-fact.
Compared to denote:
- Org only, no Markdown nor other file types
- Does not support "denote:" links
- Filenames have no meaning (can match the Denote format if you like)
- You can have as many "notes" as you want inside one file. You
could possibly use Denote to search files and org-node
as a more granular search.
