I have been using Emacs for many years. Thanks to the fantastic introduction to ELisp, I knew enough to "configure" Emacs. For some reason only recently have I started actually thinking about how I can make my computer-life easier; and Emacs is the one tool which poses least resistence when I try to.

I am kinda mad at myself for not doing this sooner, but also very happy that I finally did. I didn't know where else to share this :-)

In last few days, I have written 2 small bits of Elisp code (which took me embarassingly long to write, but the exercise was very rewarding).

  1. First was publishing org subtrees as github issues; so I can stay in org-mode where I am very comfortable thinking and documenting my thoughts, and also push them to Github for colleagues. I can mark an issue as "DONE" and it closes the github issue, or change its content, or labels.
  2. And a few minutes ago I wrote a little code to insert my org-roam notes as rust documentation comments

It's not much, but it is honest work and I am happy I am finally doing it.

Quick demo of #2
