In the latest version of #orgrr for #emacs (https://github.com/rtrppl/orgrr) I have added orgrr-super-compile-sequence. This function allows compiling the contents of a Luhmann-style sequence of notes (https://niklas-luhmann-archiv.de/nachlass/zettelkasten) while also adding backlinks for each individual note (see the screenshot).
TL;DR This allows to collect **every** snippet of information about any field of interest stored in orgrr.

How about emacsplus? https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus Have been using that for a couple of versions now.

#orgrr has already been a very fast note-taking system for #emacs. The latest version adds caching, dramatically improving the overall speed - especially for those with several thousand notes.
How much? Before caching, preparing the mini-buffer to select a note from 5750+ titles and aliases in 4600+ org-files took about half a second (MBP M1 Pro). Not too bad, rg is amazing. When caching is turned on, the same task takes between two to nine millionths of a second.

Yes! I want fd, rg, emacs and a real shell on an iPad! Let me install whatever I want and how I want it. It could be such a great device, especially since there is a built in 5g option. There aren't a lot of computers with that left.
But Apple would not do this and so I sold my last iPad a few months ago and might never by another one. Even just putting a macOS mode on iPads/APVs would be awesome.

The funny things is that this single move most likely would solve most issues with the iPad and the Apple Vision Pro instantly. Never going to happen.
