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...an…

Yes, it absolutely is.

What makes PowerPoint the priority in your workflow?

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 lon…

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. [1] https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg

It is cool to support Dropbox, but I never make it work since it's buggy.

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…

https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal/ is also pretty nice for exporting from org-mode to a shiny HTML5 presentation

I used to think I had the same problem. I tried to make sure everything I used could be used in a full-fledged way on my phone. But eventually I realized: This isn't a problem with org-mode, it's a problem with the shitty state of software on mobile devices. And laptops are a good enough way to keep org-mode with me at all times. So I just gave in and used it.

Recently someone has made a new client called Orgzly[1] which is actually really well designed. Sync works well enough for me over Dropbox, though I'd really rather use ssh. I guess overall there's a little impedance mismatch between Org-mode plaintext and mobile interfaces but overall I think it works well.

I think it's actually the context of where you're working - the highlighted card could be anywhere on your board. Eg - open Trello - go to bottom of a list and click Add a card - type the name, - to leave the adding cards box - 'e' for edit, but actually, you're on the first card in the first list - to leave the editor on the wrong card - click on the card you want to edit (or arrow over / down until you get to it an…

Meh, I'm friends with the team and stopping by the office tomorrow anyway, so I figured I'd save you a step.

Thanks :)

Thanks for doing that. I hate how people can not have any idea that they've been banned. I wonder what he was banned for.
