I have a wiki currently, which is easily accessible and updateable from anywhere by web. Is that something that org-mode can provide, or do I need to ssh into a machine (ie, harder from a mobile device)?
- blindluke 10y agoThere are mobile frontends available: http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html
- diegoprzl 10y agoThere are some apps but I found that sshing to another machine was the best solution. An alternative is to run Emacs locally.
- tonteldoos 10y agoAbsolutely agree - I've got most of my stuff hosted such that I just need SSH (or a VPN) to access it. However, usability on a mobile device in this case is limited (albeit not impossible).
- diegoprzl 10y agoUsability is not a great problem if the phone has a big display (5.5>) and you use evil(vim)/evil-leader for your keybindings. JuiceSSH and mosh also help with latency and disconnections. The main problems for me are: 1) Keeping everything synced. Especially Emacs's state. 2) I don't trust a VPS with all my personal information. I have *everything* in org-mode files. The first problem can easily be solved by using a tmux session that is shared between smartphone and laptop. The drawbacks would be that I can't access said session without Internet and also that I lose emacs's gui features like the pdf-reader. x2go is fast enough but they don't have an android client. I have yet to try nomachine.
- mbrock 10y agoOrg mode can easily generate a static site from all your content. I've never tried remote updating, but Org mode data is all just simple text files, so you could just use Dropbox or whatever.
