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

Org-Mode blows away Keep, unless you are using Keep on a stylus device like a Galaxy Note and use the pen to take notes. Org mode is made to manage a large or small number of files... even source code with TODO comments can be marshaled into an agenda. I'll toss a .org file in the top level of project and commit it in git... now I have a nice file with todos, deadlines and reference material. Since it's just text, it prints nicely and is very easy to manage.

As for media files, it's hyperlinks to media files.

"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.)

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?

Unfortunately, no one can be told wha Org files are. You have to discover them for yourself.

Even if I am as a Emacs and org-mode user in the ballpark for people who should be interested in it, and I especially like that it seems to be mobile-first, I'm not inclined to test it. And that is for the simple reason that I don't want to send my private data to Google or Dropbox. It would be nice to see Syncthing or Nextcloud sync first, and then additionally Dropbox and Google Drive as a cherry on top.

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?

Mobile support.

The first rule of Org Files... is don't talk about Org Files?

I have been on the fence for using Redux in a large-scale project and I am still not convinced about its usefulness. I feel its too much code for too little gain. You have listed it as one of the tools you have used in org-web. Does it add value?

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 an…

When you’re ready to share, would you kindly ping me? As a power org user and Clojure programmer I am intrigued by your description^^
