I’m building a web front end that supports editing, but I still think there is a use case for read-only.
Sometimes you want to only update your todo lists at the end of the day. In my case, I have a list of places I want to travel during the day. Things don’t go 100% as planned. You go places you didn’t intend, or you didn’t get a chance to do it all because you wanted to spend more time at one place. I prefer managing my todos when I’m back at accommodations, instead of being distracted from enjoying the present, even if that’s during transit.
Not at all! My blog (two-wrongs.org) is published from Org source files. I have previously published documentation from Org sources too, with no expectation that the viewers should edit.
Yeah, I can't get it to work following the instructions on macOS. Starts up but nothing appears in the browser. Debug mode shows nothing other than "GET /..." which give a 404. Nothing I put in the URL gets me anything.
Ah ! Interesting ! I haven’t had the time to look, but is the org parser re written in ocaml or does is use emacs ? I’m wondering because I once had so many todos in so many files that it would cripple my org todos when I opened them. I actually rewrote a small Qt/Cpp frontend for my orgmode needs before giving up.
The community around GNU and Emacs seem to love the 70s Unix terminal aesthetic and hate anything resembling a modern GUI. I think that's a major reason their software is never going to become all that popular by itself, at best products built on top of them will be.
Dude I use emacs most of the day precisely because I want to escape all the unixy nonsense as soon as I can and simply deal with a malleable, reactive environment.

Maybe there is an asdf plugin for OCaml or an apt-get but an executable to download from the Packages tab of the web site would help immensely.
