- Ultra Customizable tools such as: Emacs, Obsidian, Vim, VSCode or anything you have an API to play with. I'm currently making this but for a browser[0]. - Memory: Supermemo, Decaying Curve, Tricks, Algorithms: Including Ankis, Supermemos and more. - Programming Languages: Any kind. I like interesting stuff such as Zig, Elixir, Lisp and HTML(yes I said it). [0]: https://github.com/ilse-langnar/notebook

If anyone is interested in. I'm working on a "emacs-like" system that you can also use to take notes in, but it's more line a Outliner(like Roam Research) + Brownser. It's still in development. https://github.com/ilse-langnar/notebook

examplary_cable·Nov 6, 2022Recommendation phrase

I'm currently working on making the most(hopefully) editable and configurable software/browser/tool/app ever. Yes I'm trying to directly compete with emacs for the title. I love the idea of lisp, hypercard, SmallTalk, Self Referentiality, Tools for Thought, make-your-own-software. I was inspired by many different ideas in software. Immediate feedback(Bret Victor-Inventing on Principle), Reactivity, meta-programming etc. If someone made a plugin, you should ... in principle be able to edit it, so you learn by "thinkering". Editability, learnining via example. All of this is done with HTML. To check it: https://github.com/ilse-langnar/notebook
