How are you using Org-mode on Android? I'm using Orgzly, but it only supports a subset of real Org-mode.

I haven't integrated Org with either my email or my phone (I'm on iOS actually), at least not yet. It's on the road map!

beorg is great if you use a single directory for files. Unfortunately it’s proprietary and missing a few features.

But it’s pretty slick. It’s now the app I turn to (not my calendar) when I’m wondering what I’m supposed to be doing today.

I personally think Tiddlywiki is a fascinating project and I even used it professionally for a few years. But, these days, I think you likely do better with either a Dropbox directory full of Markdown files or installing the free tool Simplenote everywhere (mobile/desktop) and using its support for notes/Markdown. It's true that if you go with these simple schemes, you lose wiki-style linking. But, I've found that YA…

There is also vimwiki for vim users.

vimwiki is great, but $DEITY forgive me I started using OneNote so I can paste in screenshots and now I can't give it up. Too bad it doesn't support vim keybinds.

I tried spacemacs/org/gtd for a while but there was too much yakshaving, sync was hard and still no embedded images.

Anyone reading this thinking a "bunch of markdown files" sounds like a good idea should really look into org-mode. Trust me.

A hyperlinked knowledge-management system for personal use, on all my computers, is essential. To achieve it, I use Emacs and Org-Mode and Dropbox. An additional benefit of using Emacs: the personal wiki can be integrated with my task-management system, which Org-Mode handles as well. Plus I can draft and edit at warp speed, having customized the native Emacs keybindings to suit me better. Were I going to publish my…

I'm jealous of the emacs masters as I like the idea of having this 'one tool for life' but I'm honest enough to admit I'm just too lazy to learn it!

Also you can just use github and some macros to auto commit changes on save. This way you can edit from mobile and desktop and you will have index and history capabilities

For team use take a look at the open source wiki we've been working on, simple, BSD licensed, well designed and works with Markdown: http://getoutline.com

It looks good but I saw they require Slack developer which is a no for me > Outline requires the following dependencies: > Postgres >=9.5 > Redis > Slack developer application

Either Google or Slack will work, I've updated the README to reflect that

I personally use ZimWiki[1], with it's files synced across devices using SyncThing[2]. Setup to install both took barely half an hour and it doesn't really need any maintenance now.

I started using org-mode just because this seems to be a best solution for "I want just a simple todolist in my terminal, but with pretty bullets." It kinda feels like using a bazooka to kill a fly :D

Well there is yak shaving with org mode but it can do inline images. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27129338/inline-images-i...
