deft

I suppose the simplest would be to have to split to two windows with the same buffer with "Ctrl x 3", and press "Shift+Tab" to only have the headline. That is if all the conversation are on the same file. If they are not on the same file, maybe something simple like deft (https://github.com/jrblevin/deft) or more complex like org-roam (https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam)

Reminds of Notational Velocity [1] and Deft [2] [1] https://notational.net/ [2] https://github.com/jrblevin/deft

As a German speaker, my biggest issue is with the first sentence: I think Zettelkästen is a fantastic word! :) I’m a heavy Emacs user; one of my most-used extensions is Deft [1] which was inspired by Notational Velocity. With that I have defined some keystrokes globally from org-mode which let me create inter-file links. I really like this system for collecting general notes. What I think I’m missing that this system provides is the serendipity of stumbling onto something. I can usually jump straight to what I want. It has happened on occasion that I do run into something unexpected and welcome. I’d like to try and find a way to make that more common. 1: https://github.com/jrblevin/deft

I didn't really understand org-mode for a long time either - my problem was that I would read tutorials which gave very detailed descriptions about the various theoretical abilities of org-mode, which are like tools, but left up to the reader the task of determining an overall "goal" or workflow to be accomplished using these tools. So I ended up just working in a single org-mode file, not really understanding which tools I might like to use, how I could use it as an organizational system. For me, the lightbulb moment came from a couple of blog posts called "Building a Second Brain in Emacs and Org-Mode" [0][1], which outlined an actual workflow (based on Getting Things Done or GTD [1]) and explained how org-mode enhanced it. If you follow along, you may find it helpful to see the author's actual emacs configuration (especially the parts

I use NValt [0] and plain text files for all my personal notes/info tracking system. I use 1Writer [1] to access/add to it from iOS, and on Mac I either use NValt itself or Deft [2] in emacs. I try to convert any visual information into a textual tip, otherwise, most images, PDFs and ebooks go to Dropbox while I'm actively reading or are in "pending", after being read they go to long term storage.
