Again reimplementing Emacs Org mode. Nice work!
This looks terrific, but honestly Markdown is a document markup language. Org mode, while superficially similar in scope, is actually a data storage and exchange format. The data manipulation and querying built around Org mode are unlikely to be replicated in Markdown.
- vslavkin 2y agoAgree. This could be easily done in org. I feel that if org was more popular, a lot of these solutions would disappear, or would be a small project that just reads some org properties. I guess it would be key to have better support for easier editors, like vscode and maybe even a dedicated editor
- uludag 2y agoJust to name a few, https://github.com/legalnonsense/elgantt/ https://github.com/legalnonsense/elgantt/, https://github.com/elsatch/org-timeline-viewer https://github.com/elsatch/org-timeline-viewer, https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html . Org-mode users and things like this seem to be like moths and a fire. I'm always surprised by the sheer amount of packages written for org-mode, a package itself of a rather niche piece of software.
- ambigious7777 2y agoI really want to like Org mode, but I just can't. The syntax feels too out of place. With markdown it's just a few extra symbols, but using Org mode feels like writing LaTeX in a way. Same thing with MediaWiki - I love the wiki system but WikiText is just so bad.
