Brainiac is a minimal, distraction-free Emacs configuration designed for GTD workflows, notes, and task management using Org-mode. This v1.1 update focuses on stability and workflow refinements — keeping the setup lightweight while improving daily use.

If you're new to Brainiac, check out the original introduction to learn about the philosophy behind this configuration.

For the past four months, Brainiac has been my daily Emacs setup for managing work projects, personal tasks, notes, and planning. I’m genuinely impressed by how little needed to change — proof that a simple Emacs workflow can stay effective without constant tweaking.

✅ What’s New in v1.1

• Default search now uses rgrep instead of find-grep-dired
• Added ultra-scroll for smoother scrolling over large images
• Removed DONE tasks from agenda to reduce clutter

• New focused Day Agenda:

  • Scheduled tasks, deadlines, and priority backlog ([#A])

• New Week Agenda:

  • Full week view + entire backlog to support weekly review flow

• Statistic cookies auto-update on save (accurate project status always)

• Improved print CSS to prevent long lines from overflowing

Along with the update, you’ll now find a picture of Brainiac — a friendly organization-loving robot — in the config folder. Enjoy the company!
