    > Emacs_viewer requires OCaml 4.14.0 to build

    Maybe there is an asdf plugin for OCaml or an apt-get but an executable to download from the Packages tab of the web site would help immensely.

    Ah ! Interesting ! I haven’t had the time to look, but is the org parser re written in ocaml or does is use emacs ? I’m wondering because I once had so many todos in so many files that it would cripple my org todos when I opened them. I actually rewrote a small Qt/Cpp frontend for my orgmode needs before giving up.

    I was hand coding web 'apps' in the mid 90s so the look is nostalgic, but wouldn't even a default material design .css be better UX?

    Most use cases for org files would involve being able to edit them from within the web interface as well.

    Why making a Show HN to link to a GitHub mirror rather than to the Codeberg repo?
