Woah, this looks awesome! I can totally see myself integrating this into my org-roam workflow. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, I thought it was incredibly inventive and deserved to be shared.

That color picker looks nifty, might want to install this just for that!

I use that, it is useful for small drawings, not so much for handwriting. When using it with a tablet, maybe with some algorithm improvements, it can be as good as Inkscape.

Why is it not good for handwriting? Is the smoothing algorithm not good enough? Or the resolution?

I always used picture-mode for that but i may look at this,

Outstanding. The only thing Emacs now lacks is a decent editor.

Solved long ago with evil.

Emacs is in many ways a better vim than vim. I moved from vim to emacs+evil and never looked back.

To be fair, it really depends how you use them. Vim has a better TUI while Emacs has a better GUI. Vim is generally easier to configure while Emacs is easier to extend. Vim has more packages that extend the modal editing itself (e.g. extra text objects), while Emacs has more packages that do everything else. Etc…

What's impressive is that this is not tied to Linux utilities. In fact, the author developed it in Windows!

In emacs you do things the emacs way. You will have a hard time if you try to fight it. This is doing something other than text editing, and therefore it is fighting against Emacs.
