@clare_hooley @kev I used to be careful about including my email in the About section. My old blog used some sort of a riddle, if I recall, something like “the author of the post sitting at his domain” or something silly like that.

\n

When I switched to Micro.blog at some point I added the reply by email plugin, and that was it. I get maybe one spam email in a few months (I can’t even say once a month). Not sure if it’s because my actual address is not written anywhere or something else is going on, but it works.

\n

I was also toying with the idea of Letterbird, but I prefer to be upfront about the privacy of people visiting my site. I have a few features which I explain (for example, I use Google fonts for the title, or I use Tinylytics to track traffic), but Letterbird… eh. The reply button is good enough (pun intended).

@jbaty BZ is costing me too much, apparently because files I got rid off never got deleted. They explained that it takes a couple of months for the deletion to go through all the backups, but it’s been about 6 months now. I probably need to create a new bucket and set up my cloud backup.

@manton has been working in Inkwell and I’ve been following it quietly.

\n

I put a lot of brainpower into setting up FreshRSS on Docker (first time setting something like this up), and I’ve been using it since. It also works well with Elfeed, which is an excellent RSS reader for org-mode Emacs.

\n

On the other hand, Inkwell will soon have a mobile app. Even though I suspect the iOS app would come much sooner than the Android one, having Inkwell on both (just as I have micro.blog on both) would save me the work of saving bookmarks manually and adding to my notes.

\n

Basically, Inkwell is integrated into micro.blog in a way that makes sense and could make my workflow even better.

@benjamineskola I understand where you’re coming from as a person who got pulled into org-mode bit by bit for weeks. It was a lot to wrap my head around at start. Also, markdown is excellent for notes imo, it’s also more popular and supported by many more platforms where with org-mode, you’re pretty much stuck in Emacs. I am curious though; denote is exactly what you’re asking for, in a way: “a straightforward way to set org up for one-note-per-file with a consistent naming convention” that’s exactly what denote does, unless I don’t get you correctly?

\n

I think it’s a good entry point to get more familiar with the format, if you’re interested, especially if you need some more complicated functions. Let me know if you have questions maybe I can help :)

@gnomon Seems like I got it (check the post again, I updated it with what I did). I think you were right, at least in pointing in the right direction.
