I'm hoping someone does an android app similar to mobile-org real soon.

In the meantime, I ssh from my phone to a box that has an up-to-date copy of my .org files.

Is there something similar to it for vim?

In my extensive searches, there is nothing like it anywhere, running on anything. Without exaggeration, org-mode changed the way I organize my life, both at work and at home. It has a blindingly fast development pace, is already very mature, and is much more than just todo, calendar, and outlining.

I really enjoy using org-mode for personal notes.

However, there's a few general issues I'd like to see improved upon:

* External Collaboration (how can I get my PM to work with me on org-mode docs?) - Something like ikiwiki that works back and forth between web edits and emacs edits.

* Searching - Ideally, this would be part of the external collaboration piece. Spotlight/rgrep is ok for now, but not great.

* Easier linking/file creation - I'd love for org-mode to incorporate some of ideas/features in VoodooPad/Tomboy for easily creating new docs and linking to them. Could probably hack something together (and I have made a shortcut for file-links that uses ido-completion), but it'd be nice for this to be a central focus.

Wow. That's similar in vein to the project I've been working on slowly on the side for about a month now: http://bulletxt.com - it currently saves your notes via browser session but I'm working on making it like pastebin and having an account system. It'll be very much like a typical text-editor with the ability to sort tasks via drag-drop, copy-paste, and share task subtrees. I highly doubt the emacs-type will end u…

So I love the web app. Super simple (especially with the keyboard shortcuts). Let me know when you have a login & saved lists will ya? Email in my profile.
