This looks cool! But could you (if you are the author?) please restrict the Google Drive permissions from “See, edit, create and delete all of your Google Drive files” to only affect a sub directory of my drive please? That’s best practice for isolation. Thanks!

There is actually no OAuth 2 scope that allow only subdirectory access. App developers can either get full access, per-file access with a file picker or Application data folder access. Using Application data folder would seem to be the right choice but there is one problem: you cannot access Application data folder through Google Drive apps. Only the OAuth 2 application can access that folder. You can delete it in yo…

sqlite to the rescue?

No mention yet of the very well built iOS app beorg https://beorgapp.com/ Org-mode files are synced via Dropbox, iCloud, or WebDAV. Having a Siri shortcut to just tell Siri to add something to my TODO list would be a nice feature. Glancing at the shortcuts API, there is an append to file feature. I might have to try to roll my own.

Beorg is awesome, I use it daily, but it's really "TODO" oriented, and not that great for editing documents.

I've often wished there was an iOS text editor that understood org format, even just basic markdown style formatting. I'm going to give org-web a go, I think it could be a good compliment to beorg.

i'm a heavy emacs user but ive never been able to really grok org mode. what makes it special?

It's just a really solid markup for large plaintext documents with automa(g/t)ic formatting and the ability to embed: -Arbitrary code which can be executed and which can update/operate on the contents of the document -calendars -hyperlinks -images and other media -tables which can also act as spreadsheets a la Excel It also lets you export to just about any format including HTML and pdf via TeX, and it has broad inte…

Beyond being "just" a markup, it's also a pretty decent TODO manager.

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!

What are org files?

this is really good! I'm extremely happy to see more and more people drawn to orgmode. I'm currently working on a side project that involves blogging + agenda exporting and orgmode, still too rough to share, but hopefully soon. What I might share before is the org-mode parser and htmlfier that I wrote in clojure to support my project.

Anyway, orgmode is a real time and life saver. I use it daily to manage my tasks and keep notes on meetings/1:1s. I'll definitively play with this during the weekend!

There's inkdrop. The iOS app is pretty limited but it syncs with the desktop app and has an electron (I know, I know) app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It's extendable with plugins. I've been using it for a couple of months and I love it.

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

I'm pretty happy with Notion.

A note is composed of blocks, which can have child blocks and so on. This makes it much easier to organise things, compared to a typical "modern" free-form note editor.

Pros:

  - good UX
  - native synching
  - team collaboration
Cons:

  - proprietary
  - paid subscription required
  - no agenda feature
Edit: reformatting, rewording

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...

You may want to try out smos. It's org mode but without the emacs around it: smos.cs-syd.eu

Thanks. I’ll be trying this real soon now.

In the meantime, does the agenda view include something like org-agenda-files or just the visited file?
