This is a quick and technical guide on how I approach research with the help of Emacs and Org Mode. It's aimed at new people who want to make the switch to Emacs and Org Mode, but also at users who are uncertain about how to approach note-taking in general.

you guys came, abused the hell out of the membership model and now you ask yourself why we got such bad rate limits.

let me tell you something. it doesn't matter which llm or harness bullshit you use. if your skills and codebase are dogshit the results wont be any better.

have fun downvoting me for telling the truth

Write-up: https://cashmere.rs/blog/kitty-graphicsel-v100-document-zoom-pan-and-doctor/ Repo: https://github.com/cashmeredev/kitty-graphics.el

kitty-graphics.el renders images, video, scaled headings, and documents directly in terminal Emacs (emacs -nw), picking the Kitty graphics protocol or Sixel automatically depending on your terminal. It has been my daily driver for months and 1.0.0 is the stable cut.

What landed in 1.0.0 since the last release:

• Document viewer rework: doc-view pages render centered, n/p flip pages, +/-/0 zoom. On Kitty a zoomed page is clipped to the window and panned by scrolling, like pdf-tools. Uses MuPDF (mutool) automatically when present, Ghostscript otherwise. PDF, DVI, PS, EPUB.
• Performance pass: refreshes are skipped entirely when nothing on screen changed, non-PNG images convert in the background instead of blocking Emacs, and base64 payloads are cached.
• Multi-terminal daemon support: emacs --daemon with several emacsclient -t clients at once, each detected independently, mixed Kitty and Sixel side by side.
• M-x kitty-gfx-doctor: reports the active backend, cell size, text sizing, tmux state, and which external tools are installed.
• Reliability: a timeout watchdog so a corrupt file can't freeze Emacs, clearer "terminal not supported" and missing-ImageMagick messages, and a fix for a conflict with kkp.el.
