I love org-mode as a format and as a literate / notebook programming environment. And I love emacs.

But, I think it’s great that more people are looking at org-mode outside emacs. I’d love to see alternative tool chains that push the capabilities and open more people to its magic.

As someone who only reads about the love of Org, could you breakdown what features you see as improvements over markdown, specially CommonMark?

I often see Org and OrgMode conflated, where OrgMode seems to provide much more of an experience with the way Emacs has integrated it into the editor. Could markdown be as integrated and provide similar experience?

Org offers much more functionality than MD. Tags, TODOs with start dates and deadlines, an agenda view, capture templates, and a jupyter like notebook format with org-babel that allows for selectively integrating live code snippets into org documents.

Been using it for >2 years now and for sure only using a fraction of its capacity.

I think not having to balance headline length with underline length is a good plus. Also not having to memorise the hierarchy of underline characters is a good plus.

The format seems better suited to extension too with ways to have annotations or blocks

It's great to have more options, but people might be interested in the org-mode support of pandoc: https://pandoc.org/org.html

This enables .e.g. transformation of org-mode files with latex templates, to html slides or even into .odt files and customization via filters over pandocs AST. These filters can be not only written in haskell but in pretty much any language.

This is great to see. I started my own org-mode library for Rust at the end of last year (https://github.com/iBelieve/orgmode-rs), with the goal of building a desktop or web app for org-mode, but haven't had much time to work on it.

I use pandoc + org-mode and it’s perfect. I love being able to convert my notes to LaTeX while correctly handling the inline images and math.
