EDIT: I updated and now the export-as-pdf and export-as-html (the only things I really used) are broken.
The one thing that I'd really like to see, is a properly made, polished mobile companion app.

Yup, me too. I use it exclusively to manage all my ongoing projects, whether related to programming or not. The way it handles contexts (I do it via tags), ToDo keywords, numerous custom agenda views, is just plain awesome! Just the other day I was thinking of a good web front, which can be made for org files which are in Dropbox or something. Then, when on a computer with emacs, those files can be edited via emacs a…
this! an online editor would be so great

I like using homebrew ( http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/ ) to install emacs. To install a GUI version it's "brew install emacs --cocoa".
That's my preference as well, but integrating it with your app launcher of choice (among other things) can be a little more challenging. The alias in /Applications is a particular pain if you try to use Alfred or Spotlight, but maybe Quicksilver works fine. You only need to open emacs on startup anyway. :-)
Working with people who use org-mode to schedule and sort their daily professional activities with it when you're not is... quite an interesting experience. I remember this guy popping up every time on the channel right at 3:00pm sharp, as planned. Another dev used to say 'org-mode tells me that I need to talk to you now'. For the semi-unsupervised messy crowd out there, I thought I would give a pointer to Basket int…

Different from each perspective! For handsome, smart, educated, awesome, people such as myself, it is a lifetime of treasures, hidden within RSI-inducing key bindings, no matter where on the keyboard one puts C and M. For leprous, primitivist, stinky, bottom-feeding, monkey-scratchers, it may be a befuddling plethora of options and flexibility that forces the user to form their own opinions regarding the pursuit of g…
I feel a bit filthy now after realizing my knowledge of named functions to M-x far outnumber the keybindings I've got down pat by a 10:1 ratio. And yet I don't feel particularly encumbered. Call it a case of the customer only being able to think of a faster horse.
Org is very active, high profile project, the number of changes from previous major release are just amazing. git diff release_7.01 release_8.0 --stat [snip] 352 files changed, 119010 insertions(+), 80849 deletions(-)
Org has 352+ files? I plead ignorance, but that strikes me as absurd.
B) 7.01 was released almost three years ago. A number of things have changed in that period of time, and it's reasonable to expect that 352 files were created, edited, deleted, etc.

I just mv the .app from the Cellar to /Applications so that spotlight can find it.

ido and anything/helm are great for "just close enough" partial matching. Knowing that emacs can do something is just as good as knowing the key bound to the particular command.

There is a quite neat Org Mode parser on CPAN. I started doing a webapp like you talk about, since I needed to learn JavaScript. I call it Attorg, "atto org". I never planned on doing more than an absolutely minimal feature list, since people can use a terminal implementation in the browser (for e.g. Babel). But I began a new job a month ago. The web side is at most half done for MVP. The server side is three pages o…
I have put up my email address. Would love to look into it!
If I can't get it done the next weekend I'll pack it up and email it to you. :-(
