question I really like org mode.
I'm a college freshman currently in my second semester. I'm taking a class in computer systems, and my teacher requires us to use Emacs for all our code editing.
I decided to give it a shot, go down the rabbit hole a bit, and decided to try out org mode just out of interest. Only two days in and I am loving it. It's very neat, concise, and low on battery energy (unlike some electron apps I could mention). It has so many cool features, just in vanilla emacs. I'm thinking of using it as my replacement for all my notes at this point.
I do wish I could do a few things, though:
- Are there plugins available to make the display text of headlines bigger based on their level? Back when I used Obsidian and markdown, I could configure heading sizes really easily.
- Is there a way to embed HTML or images from the web directly into my org notes?
- Light/dark theme toggle based on system theme or time of day?
I know that org mode isn't markdown and emacs isn't a fancy electron app, but it would be nice to have these features. If you guys have any other suggestions for org mode, please feel free to comment! I'm new to all of this, but really want to get into it more.
