Here is the Seam config I use to keep my notes and build this wiki. Note that the icons I use in my seam-title-formatter may not display properly if you don’t have a Nerd Font installed.

(use-package seam
  :defer 5
  :load-path "~/src/seam/lisp"
  :bind-keymap* ("C-z" . seam-prefix-map)
  :bind (:map seam-prefix-map
              (("C-SPC" . seam-find-note)
               ("C-k" . seam-delete-note)
               ("C-l" . seam-insert-link)
               ("C-s" . seam-search)
               ("C-t" . seam-set-note-type)
               ("C-d" . seam-toggle-draft)
               ("C-z" . org-mark-ring-goto)))
  :custom
  (seam-completing-read-function #'ivy-completing-read)
  (seam-export-alist
   '(("~/seam/html/preview"             ;localhost
      :types ("wiki")
      :root-path "/"
      :include-drafts t
      :no-extension t)
     ("~/seam/html/live"                ;wiki.plexwave.org
      :types ("wiki")
      :root-path "/"
      :no-extension t)))
  (seam-export-internal-link-class "internal")
  (seam-export-template-file "~/seam/template.html")
  (seam-note-directory "~/seam")
  (seam-create-as-draft t)
  (seam-note-types '(("private" :create-as-draft nil)
                     "note"
                     "wiki"
                     "blog"
                     ("ref" :create-as-draft nil)))
  (seam-sort-method 'modified)
  (seam-title-formatter
   (lambda (title type draft-p)
     (let ((icon (cdr (assoc type
                             '(("private" . "")
                               ("note" . "")
                               ("wiki" . "")
                               ("blog" . "")
                               ("ref" . ""))))))
       (if draft-p
           (propertize (format "%s (%s)" icon title)
                       'face 'font-lock-comment-face)
         (format "%s %s" icon title))))))

I also add this to my Org config, which helps when browsing notes:

(use-package org
  :bind (:map org-mode-map
              (("C-M-n" . org-next-link)
               ("C-M-p" . org-previous-link))))
