The last few days I have been getting my teeth back into org-mode. It was originally one of the best parts about using Emacs over vim. Since I have to carry around a mobile device (or tablet) it's become much less useful to me. In fact to get the same experience I have been using a bullet journal[1] for a year or two now. I want to love org-mode, but I spent the better part of a week using it to write a deck only to…

Have you come across Orgzly? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orgzly I found it last week while trying to get started on Org Mode and being frustrated by the poor mobile apps. So far Orgzly has been pretty good. (No link whatsoever to the developers BTW, just a user)

That looks pretty cool. I had a play with orgs agenda a while back, but the lack of integration with devices made it less useful than it could have been.

I've used org-mode to publish books, pocket mods, invoice clients, run tabletop games, organize links and snippets... while text is supposedly the universal interface in the Unix world it does have limitations when it comes to sharing information across devices. I carry my laptop with me so this isn't a problem for me but I know it's there and not yet solved.

A mobile org-mode client with cloud sharing would go a long way.

MobileOrg[1] was good for a while—it had Dropbox and WebDAV support—but it hasn’t had an update in a couple of years and is badly in need of a new maintainer.

I absolutely see the value in writing journals, agendas and even books using org-mode. It naturally feels like an outline, and with the integrated TODO feature I'm able to check off parts of the document without exporting it to the final form. There is just that gap when I go mobile.

Maybe I should put-up or shut-up and hack on something!

Unfortunately I'm not an Android user, but this looks really awesome. I'm up for a new device soon and if this works as advertised I may make the leap. Thanks!

I started using orgzly last week. I like it so far. I hope the next version includes note folding.

Just out of curiosity, is Power Point really a critical component of your use? Don't get me wrong, there are advantages to using PowerPoint. But the big goal is to prepare information with a computer and then to present that information in various forms. In terms of the big goal, PowerPoint compatibility can be an XY problem. It's one possible means [and perhaps the best means] to the end. There are alternatives...and all this was a round about way to point out Racket's SlideShow library.

Did someone finally made an usable app for org-mode? Thanks for linking!
