Orgmode is awesome but it's frustratingly difficult to use outside Emacs, and using Emacs isn't an option or productive for the vast majority of people, far, far too much cognitive overhead. Im hoping for a hybrid that is easier to read as plain markup but has the extensibility of org.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI've found Obsidian pretty great, but it's not opensource. It has a pretty alive community as well and it's all just text and pictures in the end, so it stays in your control.
- afarviral 5y agoI'm a big fan of obsidian and use it for all my notes already but being basically just text, links, and pictures, it's easy to long for the power of org-mode.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoTHat is true but after trying to get the hang of it for a week I was back to obsidian :) . I think it would take months, and since I don't use emacs as my regular editor it just wasn't worth the cognitive load.
- xenodium 5y ago> Orgmode is awesome but it's frustratingly difficult to use outside Emacs Ah yes. I get the Emacs part putting some folks off. Org markup is super capable and stands on its own merit. I’d love for it to be more independently recognised, spurring a rich and diverse ecosystem of org-powered tools (outside of Emacs). I’m scratching my own itch for iOS but also taking feature requests along the way :) https://plainorg.com https://plainorg.com https://flathabits.com https://flathabits.com
