lmno blogging

Minor mode to capture:

  "Mode for capturing blog entries like org-capture."
  :lighter ">> BlogCapture"
  :keymap (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))

Org Plaintext Crm

org-contacts CRM

A bunch of functions and views to allow org-contacts to serve as the basis for a lightweight, text-based CRM.

Basic workflow:

Get your contacts into org-contacts format. Traditionally this is done with org-vcard, but that didn’t work for me so I made a script.[fn:1]
Add a :CONTACTED: property to the cards. It takes a date (not an org-date, just an ISO-8601 YYYY-mm-dd date). The script adds one.
Tag contacts. The custom views depend on the tags :close:, :fam:, and :network:
