For anyone who bounced off org-mode due to it's limitations (e.g. mobile apps for it suck) I'd recommend Logseq, it's an open-source outliner with a plugin ecosystem and even supports org-mode.

I looked at Logseq just yesterday exactly because I was trying to move somewhere from org-mode (due to its mobile limitations). Seems like Logseq just supports org-mode formatting but it actually lacks a lot of org-mode functionality. One of which is time tracking (did I miss it?). That's incredibly important feature of org mode for me.

Logseq has rudimentary time tracking, but it’s fiddly and probably too limited to be useful if you have a serious time tracking workflow in org.

You may also be interested that the Git tip of the master branch of the GNU Hyperbole package has a nicely designed link interface for controlled playback of youtube videos, allowing for easy link creation as well. See the hsys-youtube.el file. This will be part if the next package release as well. For example, it can play just a particular span of a video from a start and end time.

I'm the author of an org iOS app https://plainorg.com and the vast majority of users are pretty happy. Org has a rich feature-set and we are a diverse bunch who like to tinker, so mileage may vary.

ps. I also authored https://flathabits.com which saves habit data to org format.

I wanted to try Logseq, but the android app completely freezes when trying to import my notes folder (about 350 files). I think I tried it a couple of months ago. The app named Orgro has nice UI, but it's read-only so still sucks.

Really fun little piece. More emacs posts should read like this. Clear communication about goals, the functions involved, the code you actually wrote and how that translates to the motions used to execute what you want.

Too many emacs posts are just lists of keyboard shortcuts presented without context, and this was a refreshing change of pace.
