It's text, so no proprietary binary format. Text-based formats survive OS changes, death of applications, updates of either. Many learn that the hard way over time ...
It's my notebook, structured text, an outliner with programmable extensions, can accommodate snippets in any programming language (via #+BEGIN_SRC foo ... #+END_SRC tags), searchable with text-based tools like grep.
It's local data, but easily shared with all of my systems (synchronized).
It's available on my Linux machines, my Macs, my Android devices (e.g. via the Termux app)
Last but not least: It's working in my favorite editor. ;-)
- gavinhoward 4y agoOh, it works in Termux? Interesting. I would want to use Org Mode (well, Neorg) on my phone too because that's where my task manager is.
- jcynix 4y agoEmacs is available as an installable package in Termux, so yes, org works too. And besides that there are dedicated Orgmode apps, e.g Orgzly. But those dedicated apps aren't as flexible as a full blown emacs.
