That orgy ssg for org files looks quite cool acutally for bootstraping a possible #org and #emacs learning journey. Tutorial with some screenshots: https://bzg.fr/en/notes/orgy-tutorial/

I am in love with "bootstrapping" when attempting to use a new piece of software that fits the mold of a public #digitalGarden, like org mode in emacs (at least with #orgroam, although orgy seems to not need it). I did so when I used #ikiwiki, #tiddlywiki and most recently with #obsidian (partly).

Bootstrapping in this context to me is to write down in the new app what I've learned but then also publish what I've learned. A very motivating way to get to know a thing and I think more interesting than writing the perfect tutorial afterwards.

My blog is #eleventy based (with some dynamic pieces using #hono), but the editor is Obsidian (although since bridging my blog and mastodon, Mona has taken over for the smaller posts I tend to write with the little time I have). I have a private notes system and this public blog/garden hybrid.

I am in a pretty ok place with Obsidian (and the rest of my setup), but I'm itching to switch things up a little. I think it's mostly because emacs seems like it could be doing everything I need to do it at once - task management, pkm and coding - and it would be pretty portable (a thing I value as I am preparing an escape route out of the apple ecosystem which I might take at some point if need be). What a shame that at least one of the emacs lead maintainers seems to be a slavery apologist (which is a reduction of the situation, but not by that much) and emacs might be tainted software soon. And if I am switching, then hopefully to something better (for certain values of "better").
