[emacs-berlin] linkin-org is out!!

[Julien Dallot]

Hello!

I just discovered org-noter, that looks nice thanks for the discorvery!

Not sure what kind of additional synergies could be possible given that both org-noter and linkin-org can work together on the same pdf --- I just tried, you can altogether take notes with org-noter, and also create links with linkin-org that you can paste right away into your org notes.
There may be a system that, when the pdf buffer is focused, automatically paste a linkin-org link in the corresponding org buffer. So going from the org note to the pdf is one click away. Not sure how relevant this is as I'm no org-noter user.
