Org-mode has been nice the few times I've tried it, but without decent mobile support or multi-master syncing, it's hard to adopt it as my main productivity tool. I've tried a few mobile org-mode clients and been universally disappointed. I'm increasingly convinced that the right path forward is to give Emacs an Android port (it's not that hard) and let the mobile org just be the mainline org, perhaps with a layer of…

This is a cool use of emacs, but containers have made the process of iterative development/system creation so much easier. If you have the deployment story down, it’s even easier. And the configs are much more portable.

The process demonstrated can be adapted to a wide variety of environments, containers or not. It's mostly about making a literate program, executable on the spot , sort of like a Jupyter notebook, only for shell commands (or nearly anything, frankly).

Not the ideal solution, but you can always use pandoc to convert org to html, or even markdown and configure the html generation from there.

Both html and markdown miss various org-specific features, like code fragments, drawers (imagine that one could want them to be able top open and close on click), task states, etc. A general-purpose markup language like XML would be an ideal intermediate export format; XSLT can basically emit anything.

I know it's being worked on but every time I see posts about how great magit is, it pains be because my experience is that it continues to be ungodly slow on MacOS. Other MacOS/Emacs folks, is my experience considered atypical at this point?

How slow is ungodly slow to you? It's pretty slow on Firefox's code base but that repo is huge. For most things it's not lightning fast but definitely not ungodly slow.

Org-mode & Magit really are the secret superpowers of modern emacs. And notmuch (full-text search of one's email, at least one order of magnitude faster than Gmail's!). And elfeed. And gnus. And dired. And pretty much everything else in emacs …
