Simple org-mode web adapter
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!

In plain words
Simple org-mode web adapter is a single-file web server that lets users browse and edit their org-mode files from a phone or browser. It displays org files with backlink support, making it useful for people who work with org-mode notes and need mobile access. The tool is designed for private networks and includes no built-in authentication, relying instead on network security like VPN access.

- APA plain-text file format for todos and check lists2022 · ▲452
After having cycled through various CLI-based todo apps, I started to realise that I actually don’t need a tool at all for managing my todos. Most of the time, my use cases are quite simple, like viewing my todo items, checking them off, or adding a new one. Rather than having to memorise CLI commands for these interactions (which I’m not super good at), I figured that it’s easier for me to use my text editor directly, and have an editor plugin help me with the visual structure and some convenience functionality. So, kind-of similar to Emacs Org Mode, but without having to use Emacs. I…
- OMOrg-mode reader, setup for a collaborationtool2022 · proto.formation.tools · ▲16
My hatred for Confluence, Notion et al. has motivated me to explore prototyping a seedling for a collaboration tool that is plaintext-friendly, built on top of Org and is still friendly for non-techies who are familiar with Notion, Google Docs and the likes in terms of usability. The page currently just renders https://gitlab.com/formation.tools/eng/engineering/-/raw/mai... which is effectively the file we use to align on work internally, so we're dogfooding this. Eventually, I would like to be able to just show any git repo and offer collaborative…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
