org-roam

According to its website, org-roam is "a plain-text personal knowledge management system". It is based on the popular Zettelkasten knowledge management system, or the Roam Research website. But because it layers atop org-mode[1] and therefore Emacs[2], it has a lot of power that the others lack; for instance, integration with email and agendas.

This site is built for modern clients using Small Technology[6]. It is served from static files, which are themselves small. It should make no references to any resources from other servers, which helps protect the Privacy[7] of visitors.

Org-Mode[8]

8: /org-mode/

org-mode is a toolkit for you to organize things. It is part of Emacs[9].

Emacs[10]

10: /emacs/

Arguably the most successful platform whose code can be easily modified at runtime. Emacs presents this through the metaphor of a text editor, though the Emacs platform has been about more than that since pretty much its inception. Emacs as a platform hosts email[11] readers, Usenet[12] clients, web and Gopher[13] browsers, games, terminal emulators, sftp clients, chat clients, and even a window manager. With org-mode[14], most of these (including the email clients) can be linked together with agendas, task lists, and personal notes to form an integrated tracking system. org-roam[15] extends this yet further.
