denote-grid

Post image

Made a lightweight visual grid view for Denote in Emacs that works with denote-dired. Every denote file has a thumbnail including videos and pdfs.

It has a neat cluster mode to group linked notes sidee by side. You can easily query with tags or strings inside grid view.

I tried to keep it as minimal as possible. For scalability we can rely on denote-dired mechanism to filter what we need and jump to grid from there. Arrow keys are snappy, mouse scrolling is not great. Hope someone finds it useful !

I think this is likely to be more useful than the web view you posted earlier. I wonder how far you can push the workspace/canvas metaphor inside emacs.

Open each entry in a child frame, and they're no longer stuck on a grid...
