One of the reasons that has convinced me to come back to Emacs and Orgmode is that with the upcoming release of Emacs 30.1, they are releasing an official Android port of Emacs with touch screen and virtual keyboard support. I had switched to Obsidian because I didn't find Orgzly a satisfying solution to having my Orgmode files on the go. But I can put up with it for another year until Emacs 30.1 comes out and becomes supported by Doom Emacs.

this idea of text files organized by links is just our good ole hypertext/hypermedia, I love it, this is why to me, emacs is more like an 1980's browser than an OS. Is like a freer form & nerdier Apple's Hypercard.

I want to be cool like you guys, use this cool stuff.

Gavin, great video. Would love to learn more about how you got that time block in your agenda.

Emacs is a graphical shell like KDE, Gnome or Xfce and like them it has tools like a IRC client or a text editor. Also like them, it's possible to run it as a windows manager in X.

I wish there was more video content on Emacs & related stuff. As I hate reading long docs these days.

I love you!

Great video! Even if org-mode wasn't best in class (imo) for note tasking and task management, the fact that it's natively inside my editor and I don't need to go somewhere else to reference things while i'm working and can easily go back and forth is huge. My work life would've fallen apart a long time ago if it weren't for doing Getting Things Done methodology in org-mode.

7:07 Where did you get the export to MD from? Mine doesn't have that option.

great video gavin looks like u been buzzy with your job.

Good overview. How are you unhiding emphasis markers on focus 😟 that will be useful

Since I spend 40 hours a week at work using my employer’s laptop, I’d need a way to access my personal notes over the Web or synced to my personal phone before I could consider using Emacs Org mode. Can Org Mode data be accessed in either of those ways?

Not sure if you've covered task management in detail, but i would be interested. Trying to figure out how to get completed tasks moved to another file.

If you like org-ql, you'll also find org-super-agenda useful.

متشکرم از اطلاعاتت👏

Hyperbole offers really rich linking in org files. Might be worth a video, if you have the time.

I just wanted to offer some constructive criticism 🙃 (just a small point): Your video would be perfect for the lay person who is not a programmer. However, most Emacs/Orgmode videos that I've seen use a dark theme. Programmers need to realise that if they're trying to appeal to non-programmers, most of them do not use a dark theme. Many think it looks pretty scary. It can turn a lot of potential users away because it looks like what they imagine "coding" looks like. 👩🏼‍💻 I suggest using a light theme ☀ that looks more like what they might be used to with most note-taking apps. White background with black text. Trust me, you'll scare a lot less of them away if it looks like what they think a text editor looks like. Yes, I know that we've had "dark mode" on our devices for a few years now, but again: most people type on a white page with black text. That looks more natural to them. Just a thought. I love the video though, tysm. 🙃

calling emacs an OS because you can extend it with scripts is like calling bash an OS because you can extend it with scripts
