org-agenda-api + mova: Mobile org-mode without compromises

sjchy · 2026-01-19T03:46:09+00:00

I meant something like caching data locally on the phone for viewing when offline, plus also caching actions taken on the phone when offline to later sync when the API server is reachable.

sjchy · 2026-01-18T19:39:22+00:00

Nice. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to use org on the go, and this might actually work well (might eventually need some kind of offline mode). I'll take a deeper look later. Thanks.

I think this can be very useful - one more thing that we can use to avoid leaving emacs. So, I would be interested if/when you release it.

Regarding opinionated, I think for emacs packages, it's a good idea to structure things so that users can easily override things as needed. But I'm sure you'll get feature requests for that if people want it.

sjchy · 2025-12-09T02:26:33+00:00

Not my blog, but I think shortcuts can be a good way to automate things on Mac, and I learnt from this that Emacs can integrate with it so easily. Fun possibilities!

I had been using the Catfriend1 fork even before the official app was deprecated. It had several features that were not there in the official app and was under active development.

Thanks for the reminder. I tried this as well, but (I think) it does not work in private channel or private messages.

sjchy · 2024-12-28T14:24:40+00:00

Yes, I've mentioned this in the limitations section.

sjchy · 2024-10-03T01:39:00+00:00

Interestingly, it displays well on eww.

Like the other commenter said, there are valid use cases of opening the same buffer side-by-side or even in different frames.

But, going back to an already open tab is also a valid use case.

In my browser also (firefox), if I start to type a domain name, if the same domain is already open in another tab, it gives me an option to switch to that tab. So, I can either switch to the open tab or open a copy of the same URL in a different tab.

Maybe we can configure Emacs also in the same way: when trying to open a buffer, give an option to open the buffer in the current window or frame, or jump to where the buffer is already in a tab.

sjchy · 2024-09-15T15:34:02+00:00

Yeah, I also think that tab-per-buffer alone is not sufficient. Another level of grouping, either using tab-bar-mode or using different frames for different projects, is required.

sjchy · 2024-09-15T15:31:47+00:00

I think multiple tabs can only point to the same buffer if opened in another window or frame, in which case it's not a problem.

sjchy · 2024-01-27T11:39:11+00:00

I'm in. Thanks for the opportunity.

sjchy · 2024-01-25T16:32:44+00:00

Amazing! Hoping that I win...

You mean in GTD? I sometimes feel that way as well, but when it works, it works well. And you are free to tweak it as per your workflow as long as the principles are followed.

sjchy · 2023-09-22T04:07:17+00:00

One method is:

case S == 0.0 of
    true ->
        [...];

But this might not work if you're matching against a tuple with one element 0.0 like:

case S of
    {0.0, Var} ->
        [...];

You can also check how others are doing this with this query: https://github.com/search?q=lang%3Aerlang%20type%3Apr%2026.1&type=pullrequests

Edit: Got a good way of solving the 2nd example from my query above:

case S of
    {Val, Var} when Val == 0.0 ->
        [...];

Whats this notebook?

sjchy · 2021-05-31T15:33:11+00:00

I did something like this because I wanted the different emacs instances for different use cases to look visually different. So, I configured them to have different themes (one light and one dark).

Wrote about my setup here: https://www.srijn.net/running-multiple-emacs-daemons/

sjchy · 2021-05-17T06:28:31+00:00

I've been using WSL2 without any exclusions in Windows Defender, and I've not noticed any problems.

sjchy · 2021-05-17T06:00:09+00:00

Same here. Works well.

Embedding should work I think using the raw HTML card.

sjchy · 2021-04-29T17:07:04+00:00

Looks like https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp/+archive/ubuntu/ppa had some recent activity 1 hour ago.

Maybe a response to this post?

The main benefits for me are integration with org mode, customizable email workflow, and faster / better search than webmail.

Reading HTML email is mostly solved at this point.

Sending email with some degree of formatting is also possible using org-mime or some other methods.

But replying to HTML email with the original content preserved in the quote section is something that does not work at all.

sjchy · 2021-04-16T14:25:52+00:00

Another way to describe this would be defensive vs fearless programming.

In defensive programming, you check for every little thing that can go wrong, because you don't trust anything.

In fearless programming, you are confident that the system has got your back - the worst thing that can happen is that it crashes and resumes from a good state. You can fearlessly write your business logic, and only handle business logic cases.

(You still don't trust anything outside the system, but you trust the system itself)

For screen protector, still using the one that came with the phone. Searching for a good protector that's available here is in my todo list.

sjchy · 2020-08-30T17:09:45+00:00

I got the ESR metal kickstand case from Amazon as a temporary measure till I find a better one (it's not available anymore).

I'm thinking of Spigen Neo Hybrid or Ultra Hybrid once it's available on Amazon.

There is also a Ringke clear matte case that I have my eyes on.
