If I'm not doing something with #Emacs, I'm probably doing something in #Emacs.

Implemented displaying the backlink count for #orgroam links using overlays.

My primary use case is essentially this screenshot - to see the number of backlinks for these person-notes, because I often write notes like “According to , ”.

The code, if anyone is curious: https://sqrtminusone.xyz/configs/emacs/#backlinks-count-display . Maybe I’ll contribute that to org-roam.

In principle, more complex logic can be implemented like that, for instance coloring different links by their belonging to a certain tag or a node… Will see if I come up with something useful.

Org Roam node with backlink counts as overlays

#+title: #Personalities
Philosophers:
- This Person [3]
- That Person [33]
- Another Person [32]
- Yet Another Person [5]
