It's silly. But I want these features in my offline personal wiki:

- sortable table like wikipedia's

- sortable list and other list manipulation tools from dynalist/worflowy's

- automatically adding titles when you copy links of articles/videos/etc.

I'd like to think I'm not the only one who mostly uses lists and tables to organize information and notes. Quick googling says org-mode can do the first 2. I tried spacemacs and it was just confusing. One day.

Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) + a few plugins (enable on the "Community plugins" page in settings):

- Advanced Tables (handful of features including sort col while in edit mode): https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian

- Sortable (Wikipedia-like col sort for view mode): https://github.com/alexandru-dinu/obsidian-sortable/issues

- Outliner: https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner

- Auto Link Title: https://github.com/zolrath/obsidian-auto-link-title

For even more fun:

- DataView: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview

I'm pretty sure obsidian can't sort lists. Especially nested multilevel lists. I tried it before and it got too much annoyances without obvious benefits, so I went back to dynalist.
Org-mode can do number 3 as well: https://github.com/rexim/org-cliplink

Can't argue with it being confusing. It takes some effort in the beginning until one day you realize that your mind blended with the machine.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing org-cliplink.
I’ve been using Doom Emacs for over a year. Previously I was using nvim for over a year, then VSCode for a few years. Doom was reasonably easy for me to understand, use, and extend.
I will give Doom Emacs a try. Thanks.
