I have published version 1.3 of the Org Social specification.
https://github.com/tanrax/org-social?tab=readme-ov-file#13
Except for minor adjustments, I do not intend to modify it for a long time.
#emacs #orgsocial #orgmode
I have deployed the first public version of Org Social Relay 
.
You can open or use: https://org-social-relay.andros.dev/
Do you want to test it?
```
# List all feeds known by the relay
curl https://org-social-relay.andros.dev/feeds/
# List all mentions for a given feed
curl https://org-social-relay.andros.dev/mentions/?feed=[your URL]
# Example
curl https://org-social-relay.andros.dev/mentions/?feed=https://andros.dev/static/social.org
```
Check the https://github.com/tanrax/org-social-relay?tab=readme-ov-file#api-status for more information.
#emacs #orgsocial #orgmode
Successfully moved my first repo to @Codeberg, that being my #Emacs config.
https://codeberg.org/henryleach/emacs
Even better news is that #codeberg will render an #OrgMode README file, which I wasn't expecting.
#orgmode is good for literate #programming. But given #markdown and its issues, it is also the env for writing in your hypertextual world, we cannot call it “literate writing” because that is something else. But: You write, browse with dired, open your imgs at point by kbd #emacs. I should switch..
Writing code to fiddle with org files is weird! If you're doing something the devs expected, you get a nice functional api and you're working with data structures. The second you do something unexpected, especially if you want to change the data, it's all about moving around a text buffer and deleting and inserting stuff like some kind of animal.
It's kind of enjoyable, but feels dirty at the same time.
You might have heard that I'm looking into building Pandoc/Weasyprint templates to make nice-looking PDF documents. It's nothing super serious, just a project I'm exploring. I'm wondering: would blind or visually impaired people be interested in talking about this? Are there any specific headers you think would make these documents easier to read? What about particular fonts? This isn't a big project, I'm just curious and want to understand more.
Word/text processors should be forbidden. Documents should be written/processed with markdown or org-mode, nothing more. Particularly, in research. Making research papers with Word/alternatives is the evil.
#22 [[bbb:OrgMeetup]] on Wed, Sep 10, 19:00 UTC+3
Another OrgMeetup is scheduled tomorrow.
It is a late announcement as I am still stabilizing my routine schedules after recent work trip. Previous meetup notes are not yet there for the same reason (as well as replies to all the backlog accumulated on the mailing list for the last few weeks).
Earlier meetup notes:

@yojimbo @publicvoit @screwlisp
tag your orgmode content/questions with #OrgMode then search for the same tag
@yojimbo @screwlisp Maybe.
In best case, this would be a discussion within the org community and not my personal decision any more.
So far, nobody expressed interest in contributing to the idea/concept but I'm more than happy if this would change and I'm out of the game in terms of a one person project.
The community could then define a new name, next steps, OD2, ...
One of my favorite things about using email inside of Emacs is that I can create a link to a specific email and paste it into any org-mode note. Helps me recover the context of my TODO items that come from emails.

The Heading Problem - looking at how "nested heading levels" which aren't explicitly closed have a dangling-else problem.
More interestingly, I was gnuplotting the "height" of different #lisp forms which was pretty cool. Some notes on #emacs #orgmode #graphing .
Thanks @vnikolov , sorry that it was a deeply secret #peertube #LIVE . Here's the #archive

I mentioned I wrote some notes on #commonLisp #formattedOutput as compares #markdown viz the #emacs #orgmode #interview with @publicvoit https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/ in 45 minutes on #peertube #LIVE .
My theory turned out not to be very good, but it might be a fun look at FORMAT. #programming #technology #requirementsAnalysis #softwareEngineering

#emacsconf on IRC please everyone.
Alright this^ will be live in 8 hours. If you will be asleep, leave questions and comments for me to ask @publicvoit here!
I wrote this fallback sketch of ideas
- #emacs and #orgmode seem almost synonymous
- Outside emacs users, projects add a #markdown flavor instead
- #IDE
- Implications of #orgDown (#orgUp ?) having a built-in major mode
- #git READMEs
- non-emacs #org support (#commonLisp cl-org-mode , cl-el ..), elisps like @ramin_hal9001 #schemacs , #lem
(thanks @sacha's #emacsnews)
In a couple of hours (8am UTC, 10am CET), I'll be live on the #screwtape channel by @screwlisp on https://communitymedia.video/c/screwtape_channel/videos
We'll be talking about #Markdown and #Orgdown because I recently published "Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead" https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/
The prevalence of #markdown is comparable with #javascript being everywhere. So many good alternatives, like #orgmode but something else became famous. #emacs

I've just published ebook-notes an #Emacs package to import #Kindle clippings (highlight and notes). I use it to produce #OrgMode entries for later use.
I've also written a blog post about it.
As part of the experiment, part of the code was written by a #LLM. The blog records the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the experience.
