Org-mode is cool! And you make it amazing. Looking forward to the next update.

[@Zerio]

So this is pretty much the vim of scheduling apps. I love it, keep these videos coming

[@ostiedestrie2155]

"I'm not a scheduler" Well then I'm glad you're not in charge of interrupts *badum TSST*

[@stefmyt5062]

This is so much better than proprietary garbage like Todoist. The only downside is that it would be difficult to then see those items on a smartphone.

[@HandyWyo]

how do you suggest to make these viewable via mobile

[@MaxCuberful]

orgzly is a great Android app for this.

[@stefmyt5062]

@@MaxCuberful I did not know about this, very cool!

[@vedaaaaaaant]

Brilliant Stuff DT! Thank you so much. This gives a great starting point for using Org Agenda. Cheers

[@xa3r]

is it possible to remove root items from agenda? Remove default tag from them may be?

[@felizxett6618]

Having the top-level headings show up as items in the agenda really doesn't make any sense to me, they're not actionable todo items. How would you go about getting rid of those?

[@DistroTube]

One easy way to get rid of them is to write "DONE" at the beginning of your top level headers, since in my custom agenda view, it filters out all items marked with "DONE."

[@theodorealenas3171]

That's so beautiful!

Nice! Need more1 And how do you export to a nice looking docx?

Thank you Mr DT, it would be great to see any options to sync and edit your org files with your phone.

[@carecavoador]

This makes me think can I replace MS Outlook with Emacs? 🤔

[@itildude]

I wish, but that won't happen for many. Since I started using (Doom) Emacs about six months ago I have become an absolute fanboy. And, while I may look at Agenda again for some personal stuff it is of no use to us poor souls that are tied to an enterprise Outlook calendar all day.

I have a mission for Emacs enthusiasts. May it be any IDE / Note Taking application there are 3 prerequisites 1.Synchronisation 2.Encryption 3.Cross platform support spl on Android/iPhone. Without that it's seriously handicapping. Can we achieve this using elisp? Or Lua or any module available?

[@andersjackson4014]

There are several Org-mode editing apps, with synchronization, which I have not tested myself. 🙂 But yes, this is not something nobody have had as a scratch before.

Great video - looks v interesting, but a lot of keyboard shortcuts to remember!

[@theodorealenas3171]

Nope! I can confirm it's not. It's like getting used to clicking in the right place.

[@felizxett6618]

confirmed. they're mostly mnemonics, so SPC o a is "org agenda" and SPC b p is "buffer previous" and SPC g c b is "git create branch" etc.

[@paulofreitasgomes6389]

Linux is my OS... and I like to learn anything linux related.. but I still like and use many proprietary software... although this Emacs agenda looks interesting... I still prefer google calendar!!! I dont have to study hours to learn how to use it... I just use it...

[@lolcat23]

Emacs org-agenda becomes interesting once you're already in emacs to do other stuff. Writing (code or otherwise) or note-taking (zettelkasten or otherwise), so that you migrate more and more to emacs. Migrating to emacs only to use org-agenda doesn't really make sense i think.

i came across a new Arch distro called CachyOS , so knowing how big you are on Arch I thought to check your channel , and found nothing about it ?

Evil keystrokes are memorable but together with modal interface it damage a brain and slow down typing speed imho

It's great if you can stick with it...I made a bunch of todos then I figured they were better off on my phone lol.

[@DangerSepp]

Wait until you get a hang of elisp and building your own packages/mode.

[@dominikcl1]

I personally use a combination of Cron (multi-account) Calendar, Obsidian (note taking), Notion (Note-taking) and GitHub for managing project, sprints, etc for work. Sometimes having cli tools, although cool, don't really get the job done as extensions are very limited

DT im a Linux user...OpeSusE and XFCE fanboy but lemme be sincere with you: Ditch Arch

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

Linux is about choice, we can all choose what we want to run and how to run it - no, I don't use Arch, I have been a Gentoo user for 20 years now, which probably tells you all you need to know about how I like to run my systems. If you like OpenSuSE and XFCE (I use XFCE or i3) then good luck to you and I hope it works for you. But treat everyone else like adults capable of making their own decisions.
