How does Org-Mode compare to modern note taking apps like Keep? How does Org-Mode handle media files?

#44Hey all, I’m the author of org-web. It was pretty cool to wake up this morning and see this on the front page (thanks moioci!). If you’re interested in taking org-web for a spin you can try it here: https://org-web.org/ There’s a sample file you can play around with there if you’re not ready to link to a sync backend yet. Happy to answer any questions!
Tried this in Firefox (with and without uMatrix and/or UBO) and Firefox Klar and Google Chrome (with JavaScript enabled).

#45Seeing how popular this is made me feel worried that seamless markdown may not be the right direction. What do you think is the good features markdown lacks? I know markdown doesn’t have calendar and some features, but some markdown engines support add-ons.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can use orgmode in other editors. I use vim, for instance. (Yes, the "official" module is only for emacs, but orgmode is a format and other editors have plugins for it as well.)
The Vim addon isn't unofficial its a different program inspired by org mode that implements some of the features. The difference between having multiple implementations of a standard and multiple similar tools is that you really can't access the same data from multiple programs or share data with users using a different app.

#48I am developing a new rich editor for web. I have heard of org mode, but I have never used it. The direction I am heading for is seamless markdown, inspired by https://typora.io/ Seeing how popular this is made me feel worried that seamless markdown may not be the right direction. What do you think is the good features markdown lacks? I know markdown doesn’t have calendar and some features, but some markdown engines…
Orgmode adds things like todos, timestamped entries, outlining, cross-references, show/hide sections etc, which markdown editors typically lack.

Works great; maybe a bit too powerful for the average use case.

#50This looks cool! But could you (if you are the author?) please restrict the Google Drive permissions from “See, edit, create and delete all of your Google Drive files” to only affect a sub directory of my drive please? That’s best practice for isolation. Thanks!
not the author, just a non-techy person who wants to try org mode without the complexity of emacs.
It's not that bad if you wade into it slowly.
