org-mode appears to be thriving these days, or always was, but either way I'm really glad to see.
I only picked up emacs last year after being a die-hard vim user for 8+ years and org-mode was a large reason why. I wanted to learn how to manage todos and documentation alongside my code - it's incredible. Lifechanging.
The only negative is trying to teach others to use this workflow. I haven't found a tool yet that can easily transform todos in org-mode into something a product manager could use. Exporting to HTML makes sharing docs a breeze. Maybe workflow tools are a rarer use-case or I just haven't dug far enough.
Either way, org-mode definitely worth learning in 2021
- gpderetta 5y agoHum, org has built-in export/publish to (among other things) html. You can add inline .css as required. What it is missing?
- tlackemann 5y agoI'm aware but rereading it was unclear. I more was asking/bantering about todos. Sharing docs via HTML export is great

- nanna 5y agoHow about org's taskjuggler export?
- tlackemann 5y agoAh see! I haven't dug deep enough. Thank you kindly, eager to dive into that
- nanna 5y agoTo me it's a great example of why Org can't be compared to Markdown. On the one hand you just have a humanly-readable plain text file. On the other it is also a spreadsheet. On the other it is also the interface to a complex Gannt chart. Org files are multidimensional; Markdown files can merely be exported to a variety of formats.
- aidenn0 5y agoI haven't used it in many years, but there were plenty of org-mode <something else> two-way sync packages. I used the Trello one for a bit long ago.
