| I'm the author of an org iOS app https://plainorg.com and the
| vast majority of users are pretty happy. Org has a rich
| feature-set and we are a diverse bunch who like to tinker, so
| mileage may vary.
|
| ps. I also authored https://flathabits.com which saves habit
| data to org format.

| but they all have the problem that anything I built on top of
| org gets left behind.
|
| Most recently, I've been experimenting with just delegating the
| job of Emacs to Emacs itself e.g for blogging, converting my
| org-mode files to HTML. Here's the code I am using:

|
| I am using it for converting my org-roam notes to mobile-
| readable HTML so I can read them when on the move and explore
| my notes based on tags, a featuer I've found missing in the
| popular org-roam-ui (last time I tried it). I am also using it
| to create my blog. So far so good.
|
| I enjoy fantasizing how the lisp hacks I do in emacs/org on
| desktop could carry over to mobile.

| Really fun little piece. More emacs posts should read like this.

|
| Too many emacs posts are just lists of keyboard shortcuts
| presented without context, and this was a refreshing change of
| pace.

| No. I didn't even think of that. But it sounds like a great
| idea. I'll explore. Thank you.

|
| It has had its ups and downs, but I can say I am much happier
| in general. General restlessness/anxiety I used to have all the
| time has significantly come down. I got to experience sort of a
| stillness of thoughts, which has been a new experience for me.
|
| I've been mulling over writing a 6-month update to document my
| thoughts/experience; will do soon.
