The only thing I can't stand is that you can schedule things and deadlines but no alarms or notifications go off.
You can generate iCal files and import them in a calendar application.

Yes. You can use cell magic to change the language for each cell and you can display HTML/latex output inline or just mix computations in with markdown. The only problem is that the editor is just a text box with annoying bracket matching instead of Emacs.
I really want to like Jupyter. But taking notes or working through things in a textbox element just doesn't cut it. If I could build my notebooks in emacs... But then org mode has most of the same functionality.
Every time I try to get into org-mode, I just don't get where to start and how to do things. So I end up going back to Sublime text, creating markdown files to take my notes, works well.
Given the many different features this is not surprising. My approach was to focus on learning one set of features at a time. I used http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html as a guide. The order I went in was: Creating / editing / manipulating trees - Being able to easily organize everything in a hierarchy TODOs - how to customize my own list of TODO states to fit my workflow Habits - I created a habit for learning more a…
1) Didn't have Java, installed it by following the prompt that appears by running 'java' in the shell
2) brew install plantuml
3) M-x package-install plantuml-mode
4) Add following to .emacs
(setq org-plantuml-jar-path "/usr/local/Cellar/plantuml/8057/libexec/plantuml.jar")
(require 'ob-plantuml)
;; active Babel languages
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((plantuml . t)
))Looks great but I personally prefer to take notes with jupyter notebook. For TODO lists I prefer Asana, since it will send you e-mails/push notifications, and has a website + mobile app.
My wife and I use Asana to manage our lives... albeit she does most of the tasks (I really need to improve on that. She is so darn productive).

I was wondering just a few days ago whether building a nice Mac desktop app or maybe a web app, akin to Ulysses, but for Org file writing/editing, exporting etc. would be a viable idea and whether it could eat some of Markdown's marketshare by not being tied to Emacs, which is why I feel most people don't pick it up. Would that be something the HN crowd would be interested in?
This will be a tough sell. Org-mode is a fairly fast moving target, due to how easy it is to extend anything in emacs. For lots, you will actually be battling against all of the other extensions in emacs. (For me, as an example, you will have to replace flyspell, beacon, tramp, ace-jump, ido, and ggtags.) All of this is doable, of course. But it will be a tough sell. That said, I'd say go for it. Worst case, nobody u…
This really may be the 'just build it and see' sort of scenario.
It's worth noting a great Android client for org-mode has been recently open sourced: http://www.orgzly.com/ https://github.com/orgzly https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/com.orgzly It was a little annoyance we did not have anything as good as this before.
An even better Android client for org-mode: 1. Install the Termux app. 2. Install the Termux API app. 3. Install the Termux api CLI tools via apt. You now have access to clipboard. 4. Install Emacs within termux. Termux offers an apt-based package management system, and a substantial, though partial, set of Debian-based packages. (592 packages as I write this -- a full Debian archive is >60k packages now.) There are…
Now how do I get Escape, Meta, Alt, Control, Shift?
(Joking aside, serious question.)
