Org Mode shall set you free



Ad Hominem attack, try harder :)
Maybe cite some evidence?


At some point you might want to print your notes, publish them on the web, or share them with people not using Org. Org can convert and export documents to a variety of other formats while retaining as much structure (see Document Structure) and markup (see Markup for Rich Contents) as possible.
The libraries responsible for translating Org files to other formats are called backends. Org ships with support for the following backends:
ascii (ASCII format)
beamer (LaTeX Beamer format)
html (HTML format)
icalendar (iCalendar format)
latex (LaTeX format)
md (Markdown format) odt (OpenDocument Text format) org (Org format) texinfo (Texinfo format) man (Man page format)
Users can install libraries for additional formats from the Emacs packaging system. For easy discovery, these packages have a common naming scheme: ox-NAME, where NAME is a format. For example, ox-koma-letter for koma-letter backend. More libraries can be found in the ‘org-contrib’ repository (see Installation).
Org only loads backends for the following formats by default: ASCII, HTML, iCalendar, LaTeX, and ODT. Additional backends can be loaded in either of two ways: by configuring the org-export-backends variable, or by requiring libraries in the Emacs init file. For example, to load the Markdown backend, add this to your Emacs config:
(require 'ox-md)

There you go, maybe try reading a bit about the thing before commenting on it?


It objectively isn’t bothersome, it only takes a handful of keystrokes to export to markdown or to any other format you want.
I am sorry complaining about Org mode’s markdown format not being used elsewhere is absurd given how many extensibly options there are for Emacs built in even without adding in anything custom.
No, the org mode file format is the most extensible, open, powerful file format for primarily text based notes ever made. You are simply wrong here, I am sorry.
There are also apps that directly use the org mode file format such as Orgzly, Beorg and Orgro.


The downside is that copying anything with links or formatting out of Org requires converting its markup to Markdown or whatever.
The upside is by default org mode can export to markdown, and with Pandoc installed you can basically export to any file type known to humanity.


Syncthing and Org Mode.
Jealous, I only pee once in a piss-moon.
Not technically Alpha, but the large corporation released him into the world before he was ready so more like “Should Still Be In Alpha”.


It isn’t really Open Source if it can become not Open Source.


Weird, does Emacs do that?


As a form of protest create README txt files everywhere that say things like “I wish I was using linux” and “friends don’t let friends use windows”.


but what happens if we change on it afterwards…


What You See Is What You Get we mumble to ourselves, a mantra we remember the words to but have forgotten the meaning of.


I would prefer to title it “Gravity’s Rainbow Of Vibe Coding” as this is hardly a cycle, more like a denial committed with force that will eventually give out and cause regression into a shattering of identity.


The muscle memory is hard to fix
Also this is software, we should celebrate and embrace the fact that the same tool can be customized to look and be organized differently to maximally ease users into learning it. This is one of the super powers of software!
That experiment was massively flawed to the point of uselessness.

Yeah, this was always the next obvious booster stage on the Slop Rocket.
