There are a few projects that do this, but I think there's certainly room for more. I'd love to see one focused on using the Zettelkasten method.

Here are three I'm aware of:

Scimax: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax

Emacs Speaks Statistics: https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS

Frontmacs: https://github.com/thefrontside/frontmacs

So long as these approaches expose the full power of Emacs to their users, I can't imagine the UX being as rock-solid as we might expect from modern purpose-built tools (e.g. PyCharm, Overleaf, Obsidian, ...).

It might help to hide/disable most default interactive functions, which provide a huge surface area for non-Emacsers to break things. Emacs actually does this by default for a few functions: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DisabledCommands

Also relevant here is wakib-keys: https://github.com/darkstego/wakib-keys.

Thank you! Good pointers indeed.
