Just a quickie today. This post addresses a niche need that most readers probably aren’t facing. Joar Alexander Pablo von Arndt’s girlfriend recently bought a Framework 12 laptop and stylus and wanted to use it to take handwritten notes that she could later organize in Org mode.
That’s the type of thing that sounds like it should be doable with Emacs and, of course, it is. The solution they settled on was to use Xournal++ to take the handwritten notes and org-xournalpp to interface it to Emacs.
Sadly, it didn’t work quite right on the Framework 12 so they wrote a bit of Elisp to do the interfacing. It turned out to be pretty easy. See Pablo von Arndt’s post for the details.
This is another nice example of how you can use Emacs to solve problems with just a little investigation into what’s available and perhaps a bit of Elisp.
