Org-mode on web, built with React, for mobile, synced with Dropbox, Google Drive

How does Org-Mode compare to modern note taking apps like Keep? How does Org-Mode handle media files?

Currently keyboard shortcut ^n is opening a new window; how do I get it to navigate to next header?

Its versatility, all within one file format.

e.g. for anyone who hasn't glanced at the Org-Mode table of contents: https://orgmode.org/manual/index.html#SEC_Contents

For managing tasks: org files can be richly structured. So you can organise a task in some nested hierarchy; or with a tag; or with some key-value property. You can also make use of the way you organise notes to quickly search for tasks. Org also provides some useful ways you can view your organised tasks.

Besides task management, it's kindof "2nd best at everything", but all within one file format.

For GTD: Org supports a workflow where you can quickly 'capture' some information; then later organise it.

Org Babel: supports running snippets of code in an org-file, outputting the results. It's more primitive than something like Jupyter, though. (But you can also re-arrange the code snippets into files, supporting a literate programming style). -- I've found this a useful tool for keeping code and notes together.

Org has some support for tables/spreadsheets. I don't use this very much. But, again, useful to be able to embed (and update) within notes.

You wouldn't start using org-mode to get all these benefits. You start using a small part of it. And then you notice some other feature of org you'd benefit from, and figure that part out.

Wow, what i timing. Just found out org-mode thanks to bumping into Orgzly [1] and proffering it more then Joplin [2] due to local directory storage (synced with syncthing [3]). As a Vim user i am now trying vim-orgmode [4] and hope to have complete self hosting synced note taking solution... i will see if org-web fit's into this somehow...

If you invest some time in it, it's way more awesome. Keep hardly scales for serious use. Handling of media files is probably editor specific.

If you use emacs, org mode is really turing complete as it basically is an extension of elisp. But if you use this post's web-based editor, it probably implements only a tiny subset of org-mode (haven't checked out in detail). Still great if you just want to jot down a notes in a file you normally edit in emacs but have just a web browser.

I would vastly prefer a way to use emacs on my computer but sync the file to google drive so I can share files between computers. That works well on the mac, but not at all on a chromebook. Maybe with Crostini it's getting better but I don't believe so. I really wish ChromeOS would allow syncing a local directory to Google drive.
