Hey all, I’m the author of org-web. It was pretty cool to wake up this morning and see this on the front page (thanks moioci!). If you’re interested in taking org-web for a spin you can try it here: https://org-web.org/ There’s a sample file you can play around with there if you’re not ready to link to a sync backend yet. Happy to answer any questions!

This is awesome! FYI, it looks like the add/delete row/column buttons have their targets reversed? The button whose icon suggests "add row" adds a column, etc.

Ah that’s just a confusing icon choice on my part. I think a more custom icon could solve this problem nicely, but I did my best to stick with what Font Awesome had available. Certainly worth improving, though - thanks for the feedback!

what % of the org-mode API is currently implemented?

Author here - I’m not sure % wise, but quite a few features now have first-class support. Those that don’t simply fall back to plain text, which you can always resort to editing directly in org-web. You can see a list of the implemented features (and try them yourself) in the sample file here: https://org-web.org/

Is there support for in line images and LaTeX?

I haven’t tried org-web but this looks seriously awesome! Good work!

"Org-mode is a document editing, formatting, and organizing mode, designed for notes, planning, and authoring within the free software text editor Emacs." In case anyone else wasn't sure what this was, and isn't an Emacs user.

You can use orgmode in other editors. I use vim, for instance. (Yes, the "official" module is only for emacs, but orgmode is a format and other editors have plugins for it as well.)

The Vim addon isn't unofficial its a different program inspired by org mode that implements some of the features.

The difference between having multiple implementations of a standard and multiple similar tools is that you really can't access the same data from multiple programs or share data with users using a different app.

Does this work offline at all? That would be a killer feature.

In case this isn't a joke, what's keeping you from just using emacs or an org-mode plugin for your text editor?

I don't like the UX, especially in a touch environment.
