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?

Plaintext files in the format for a popular Emacs plugin called Org Mode.

"Org" as in "organise". Org-Mode has a rich set of features for organising tasks/notes.

Since other people are throwing out alternatives, here's what I use: https://dynalist.io/ I'm not affiliated, just a happy paying customer. I organize a pretty good chunk of my life in it.

I’m planning to give this a try once notes aren’t stored on dynalist servers, or are at least end to end encrypted

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?

A lot of people reach for redux because they mistakenly believe it's required for react development.

In 2019 if you are using modern react with context and hooks, it offers very little that you can't find built into react already.

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!

I'd recommend the author use the OAuth 2.0 scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file ("View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app") instead of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive ("See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files"), if/when they get a chance to work on this. Anyway, this is really cool and totally fills a niche for me (90% of the…

I've created a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/DanielDe/org-web/pull/52

Fair enough. It's a small company and their ops seem competent, but yeah, I wouldn't trust confidential or sensitive information to it.

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.

I’m a big fan and current user, though I’d really like to use something FOSS. And, while iOS payments are a good prompt to support the author (I’m trying to get better at donating to Free Software developers), the in-app upsells for features are pretty annoying.

That said, it’s one of the most used apps on my phone.

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...

The Orgzly+Syncthing is an awesome combination. Also, as alternative it is worth mentioning the Standard Notes [0], which tends to be have-it-all-as-extension [1][2] note editor - however, it lacks the org-mode.

The short answer is yes it added value, but I wouldn't use it if I started on org-web today. Largely this is because of the new hooks API in React (particularly useReducer).

Redux also helped me grow a lot as an engineer. I'm sure the concepts that it builds on aren't new, but they were new to me when I first started using Redux and I now spend a lot of time thinking the way Redux taught (or forced) me to think.

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?

Currently its just the visited file, which is mostly a product of how I use org-mode - I've got one monolithic org file instead of multiple files. But adding support for multiple files is something I'd eventually like to tackle.
