Show HN: Simple org-mode web adapter (github.com)

63 points by turth ↗ HN
I like to use org files a lot, but I wanted some way to browse and edit them on my phone when I'm out. Yesterday I used Codex to make this simple one-file web server that just displays all my org files with backlinks. It doesn't have any authentication because I only run it on my wireguard VPN. I've been having fun with it, hopefully it's useful to someone else!

Nice! For the phone you might want to consider orgzly revived, yiu can point it to a git repo of your choise

I find using git for my notes annoying, but it also works great with Syncthing if you have an always online peer. Before that I ran into conflicts that I guess would've been easier to resolve with git.

This is awesome. I knew about orgnice and orgzly ... this is different, so light weight, so easy to find things. I used org aggressively to track tasks and as a Roam alternative and this fits my use cases wonderfully.

I'm adding some nice-to-have features and will open up a PR with some of them very shortly!

There's also orgro[0], which I've been happy with, though it's quite rare that I use it nowadays.

I had to switch from orgzly for some reason I can't quite remember. (I don't think it was by choice. Some kind of bug or incompatibility?)

Logseq supports some of org mode syntax.
