Hello from South Korea

Saram

Hi everyone! I'm a high school student from South Korea. I've been enjoying the Zettelkasten Method since I discovered it in July 2025 in this website.

I love computers and software development. Currently learning Linux and Networking. I'm also interested in theoretical CS and discrete mathematics.

I write digital notes all the time. I do daily journaling and capture resources I find online. I did not have a thing like "workflow" for this, but recently I'm experimenting with many systems/workflows (e.g. BASB). I want to find a comfortable setup for integrating capturing in my ZK; I want to avoid falling into the collector's fallacy.

For note-taking application, I first started with Obsidian, then Vim + fzf in the terminal, and then Emacs now. I love how I can customize almost everything in Emacs and the flexibility of the Elisp language.

Welcome aboard @Saram and welcome to the church of Emacs, too

Maybe you find my EmacsConf talk from 2025 entertaining: https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/zettelkasten/

@ctietze Thanks! I'll check it out.

안녕하세요, 최근에 Emacs로 모든 체계를 옮기면서 정보를 찾던 중 발견해서 반가움에 글 남깁니다~
Emacs를 어떻게 활용하고 계신지 한번 공유해주시면 넘 좋을 것 같습니다 ㅎㅎ

Welcome aboard @Saram! The progression from Obsidian is to Emacs is rare and very nice.

@lukia 안녕하세요! 현재 프로그래밍 (Eglot + tree-sitter 등), 개인 노트정리 (Org mode), RSS 피드 리더 (Elfeed) 중심으로 사용 중입니다.
정리가 안 되어있어서 도움이 되실진 모르겠지만, .emacs 파일 공유드립니다 (Org mode 이용해서 literate config 사용중입니다).

Hello! Currently, I'm using Emacs for:

• Programming (Eglot + tree-sitter and various other packages)
• Note taking (Org mode)
• Reading RSS feeds (Elfeed)

Here's my .emacs file. It's a bit messy though.

I have written a fairly detailed guide:
