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!

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?)
