To answer my immediate question "why does this look almost exactly like org-web?": > We forked the project, because we have different visions on how to go forward. He envisions a mobile only solution, we think it’s great to have organice be available to any browser to enable anyone on the go or any non-Emacs user easy access to Org files. Also, DanielDe thinks of org-web as his pet project whereas organice has the full power of 200ok llc behind it whilst building a strong self-sufficient community around it. Took too long to find, IMO. Especially for something with a code base apparently so close I'd have deemed it more fitting to mention "fork of" within the first page or just mark it through the Github "forked from" feature. But instead the name org-web isn't even prominently featured anywhere. I think that's just not great style.

It looks like orgnice has been an independent (and more active) project for 3/4ths of the life of org-web. I wouldn't feel compelled to prominently advertise the fork either.

Everyone can judge for themselves what is similar and what is not. Having said so, organice has about four times the commits of org-web. It shares a common history, but the last few years have diverged a lot. Also, there is nothing hidden, you’ve found the info right there in the top level readme as you’ve said yourself. As for bad style, the same could be said about a random person in a forum shaming the many hours of work by a diverse group of hard working individuals putting their work up for free.

Regardless of your intentions or how truthful that is, this bit will only make the point your trying to make weaker and needlessly antagonize any potential user. Or, if you want a shorter version, you unintentionally made yourself look like a dick here.

  Agreed. It is hard work. As it is mentioned, walk on and be water.
