If you want to be notified of scheduled and deadlined tasks in Org mode, there is no better way than with org-yaap. It has zero dependencies other than Emacs 27.1 and it works great on Android with termux.
I've been using it for two years without issue. The documentation and options are superbly setup to fit most uses of Org:
"""
By default, you will be notified for all scheduled headings (org-yaap-include-scheduled') and headings with a deadline (org-yaap-include-deadline') within your agenda files. If a heading only includes the date, you will be notified at 9am on the day of the heading (org-yaap-daily-alert'). If you don't mark a heading as done, you will be repeatedly notified every 30 minutes after the heading was due (org-yaap-overdue-alerts').
"""
Part1: In Emacs there is a super useful command: C-u C-space set-mark-command
that allow to return to recent place where you was doing anything. 🤘
But I have problem with this command in Org-mode - it doesn't expand headers
tree and text around it header was fold. 💔
The reason for this was in "Sparse Tree" feature and historical approach:
entire document is folded as much as possible.
That is why, as I understand, (org-fold-show-entry) and (outline-show-entry)
hide some headers and text.⛇
To show this text there is command for it:
C-c C-r (org-reveal)
I don't know why this command require '(4) parameter to work properly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wrote hook that will automatically call org-reveal with appropriate
parameter '(4):
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(advice-add 'org-fold-show-context :after (lambda (&rest args) (org-reveal '(4)) ))
))

This post on #emacs#org-roam resonates very well with me, to the point that I actually double checked that I didn't write it myself. I've been fortunate I suppose to not have problems with org-roam's database for several years now, and I think it does make some sense to go ahead and build around a proper database layer rather than beat around the bush. It's something of a rejection of YAGNI, but I think people often wear YAGNI blinders. https://edstrom.dev/wzvdr/2023-02-26
I am really disappointed by the current state of org mode (or just note taking in general) on Android.
I really want a simple, dedicated app where I can:
make a simple list or takes some notes
have that be saved in some plain text format that can be edited in vim or emacs on my computer
have that file be accessible in a way that Syncthing can pick it up
Pick up changes made on the file system
Orgzly seems to want to do its own thing and fails at 3 and 4. orgro is read-only. Every other note-taking or list app I’ve seen just stores stuff in its own little database in its own format.
I've been working on an #emacs package to import my #outlook meetings into #orgmode. I now have a pre-alpha version of #org-outlook here: https://github.com/ifitzpat/org-outlook . Some caveats: there is quite a lot of manual setup required and there are definitely still some rough edges. Features include: the ability to accept/decline meeting invitations and join teams calls from the org-agenda buffer. Feedback & pull requests are welcome!
I am using #mastodonel and org-capture in #emacs to save interesting toots. To catch the title of the toot's webpage, I am also using #org-web-tools. Both packages have recently changed a bit, breaking my previous hacks.
Screaming a question into the void regarding #emacs#org#orgmode, hoping that someone will see this:
I'd like to have the same left-margin for all my text. Headline bullets (and list bullets etc.) should be to the left of this margin. In CSS this would be list-style-position: outside;
Would anyone know how to modify the indentations of the headings to some negative value? Pointers much appreciated!
Over the past ten years or so, I experienced a gradual shift from (a frustrated) "to get the most out of free software, I'm going to HAVE TO LEARN TO CODE!" to (a gratified) "the more I learn to code the more I get out of free software."
In short, it was the cumulative, very high-feedback, very low-barrier-to-entry list of idiosyncratic desires for tweaking my #Org mode workflows, then customizing my #mu4e workflows ... before I knew it I had written a couple of major and minor modes to mitigate my own #ADD.
Since I'm spending like a quarter of my screen time with #emacs and since it bothers me to have to check my calendar with another app, I was looking for a way to view it /within/ emacs.
Checking for a package? Nuhuh, Jovian is too dumb for that. Better write my own script to convert my #iCal file to an #org one.
Bonus: I can share it, partially or not, with #OrgPublish
Almost thought I had a good way to move #org documents into #confluance from converting them into #html. They used to have a built in HTML renderer but I suppose they couldn't fix it on the cloud and disabled it. Too bad all the html rendering apps from the marketplace are priced WAY too high for what they offer. Guess I'll have to stick with exporting to #markdown for now.
🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we will write a custom Org export backend that will convert Org Mode documents to Scheme! The goal is to produce equivalent documents in the Skribe format used by Skribilo for Scheme-hackable document production.
Using yeetube.el to search YouTube... :)
yeetube.el makes it easy to search YouTube (preferably #invidious) without leaving Emacs....
