Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah there are org mobile apps but they aren’t that great yet. It is a big drawback but the advantage of not having the mental workflow keeping my life together be at the mercy of a company is just too big for me to seriously consider anything else. Also… emacs does run in termux on android but…

Emacs is a monstrosity yes, but also I know without a shadow of a doubt emacs will still be around in 20 years, I won’t have invested a bunch of my energy into a system that will one day evaporate out from under me (Evernote vibes). Emacs will be here after the end of the world, some person will be using it for programming the environmental controls and hydroponics grow rooms of their fallout bunker lol.

I joke, but this is seriously important to me, I am very ADHD and getting myself to routinely use an organizational system is like herding water and cats uphill at the same time. I really don’t want to have to migrate, I don’t think I would have the executive function spoons to migrate my organizational system if “org mode went out of business and shutdown”. I would just abandon it and not replace it with anything most likely, so that stability is vitally important in my particular case.

I currently use Notion as a means of organizing my life and anything I need to remember, but I’ve been hoping to move over to something self-hosted and open source. I think the only big drawback of doing it in Emacs, however, would be the inability to sync that data to my phone, which is a pretty important feature for me.

As a side note whatever solutions you find that work for you, it is worth checking out SyncThing for the file syncing aspect. It is a free and open source peer to peer file syncing service that is very easy to use and works on all operating systems including mobile (iOS has a paid app called möbiusync). Use a raspberry pi or your phone as an always on device to sync your other devices running SyncThing and you basically have your own little cloud file sharing setup. You dont need to set up a web server or anything that technical really.

Super relevant point!

Also, Syncthing was already on my list of things to look into, so thanks for the reminder!
