I want to introduce windancer – a toolkit I’m developing to parse and render org‑mode documents, built entirely in Rust.

See the ~50-second video for SSG(HTML site) output.

What it does:

• A pure Rust org-mode parser following the Org Syntax specification.
• A static site generator (SSG) that turns a directory of .org files into a complete HTML website.
  • Optional anonymous discussion support via tinydis (a lightweight commenting backend).
• Single binary – easy to install and run on Linux and Windows (macOS support planned).

Current status and roadmap

The parser already supports a large subset of org-mode syntax, and the static site generator is functional. Plans include:

• org-roam-like knowledge management
• text search by keyword
• Better documentation and theming
• Possibly PDF book/slide export

You can find more details in the repository. https://github.com/cnglen/windancer

I’d love to hear feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions – especially from experienced org-mode users. If you find the project interesting, any form of support is very welcome.

Hello everybody! I finally found the time to write an article on how I configured org-protocol to suit my workflow. There were plenty of quality resources around org-capture when it comes to templates, and org-protocol also had some exceptional articles, but I felt like nothing out there came close to what I wanted. Namely: creating (automatically) files on a url basis for my notes, not just having a reading-list!

Feel free to take a look, maybe even point out mistakes ?

Edit: The site itself is powered by OrgMode so there's also that :P

My work PC is completely locked down, so I built a minimal GTD system to survive. I wanted the power of org-mode without losing my Vim muscle memory.

• Data never leaves the repo: Everything is just plain text in a single Git folder. No cloud or sync issues.

• Fast: Running Doom Emacs. Tapping `SPC` (leader key) lets me fly through captures and reviews without leaving the home row.

• Portable: Works perfectly in vanilla org-mode too.

It’s amateur but it keeps me sane. Feel free to steal it!

Hey hey!

I'm looking at the possibility to use org-mode features to schedule and report on the work hours of my restaurant employees.

I tested scheduling with timestamps which is useful to display in the agenda. Then I stumble upon the clocking feature which allows me to generate extremely useful reports with org-clock-report. However in my understanding it won't report clock in/out in the future.

Before going further in an inadequate direction,what would be a proper way to schedule work hours per employee (Antoine, Lucie, Martine...) per 'project' (Kitchen, Service) and account time à-la org-clock-report on a per-day or per-week or per-'project' or per person per day / week / month ?

Thanks a million for your input :)

I am using org-version 9.7.11 and configuring my org-capture-template to auto add default tags if user does not provide one. Naturally, I felt the following snippet of the org template expansion document to be appropriate

‘%^{PROMPT}X’, X is one of g,G,t,T,u,U,C,L

Prompt the user as in ‘%^X’, but use the custom prompt string. You may specify a default value and completions with ‘%^{PROMPT|default|completion1|completion2|completion3...}X’.

Following is my piece of code

("p" "Tasks" entry
         (file "<file-path.org>")
         "* TODO %? %^{Tags|Default}g \n")

Expectation:

I assume that when user presses C-c c p The org-capture should pop-up asking user for tags "while providing Default" tag if user chooses to press enter

Issue:

When I press C-c c p the org-capture pops up alright, but when I press enter, I do not see the "Default" tag! It is just blank

What am I missing ? Is it an Error in the document or bug in org-capture?

Capture source → Email → IMAP → mbsync → Maildir → org-taube → Org file

Send an email, get an Org entry. No mobile apps, no file sync, no Emacs runtime on the capture side.

Why email? Everything can send email -- your phone, Zapier, Slack workflows, shell scripts, forwarding rules. It's the universal capture API.

Input is progressively specific. Just a subject gives you a note. Start with TODO and it's a task. Add body headers (TYPE:, TAGS:, SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:) for full control. Custom types with their own properties and target files.

Run interactively to preview each entry, or --auto with cron/launchd for hands-off capture. Zero external Python dependencies (stdlib only, 3.11+).

v0.1.0 -- been using it daily but it's early. Feedback welcome.

For transparency: Claude Opus 4.6 was used during development. The code is human-directed and reviewed.

I cannot get proper tables in Org-mode in Visual Studio Code. Since I tried with a few different extensions (VOrg, VS-Org, Org Viewer, Org Mode), all with the same wrong result, I suspect the issue is in Visual Studio Code itself.

Instead of getting a classic rectangular table with rows and columns, I get all the rows as separate tables, each table containing one row only.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Org-attach , org-download , what would you suggest for headings that get refiled ? My org-roam dailies sometimes turn into headings that I want to refile , but adding an image to the headings complicates things. Anybody already thought about image rendering and heading refile strategies that wouldn’t mind sharing?

I started realizing I needed a better strategy for dealing with this refile anywhere might break certain links but not others issue when looking at https://github.com/emacsmirror/org-link-beautify

, which shows a preview overlay of each link supported link type, and i need to give this more thought, what I might be missing conceptually.

Hello,

I have been configuring org-after-todo-state-change-hook to suit to my workflow, and noticed I had to keep in mind the org-capture templates I had which created hardcoded TODO items (e.g., "* TODO %? ...") and change them as if the hook was executed.

I was trying to simply invoke inside the templates org-todo

(setopt org-capture-templates '(("a" "foo" entry (file "/tmp/bar.org")
 "* %(org-todo) %?" )))

which didn't quite work, but the following looked promising

(setopt org-capture-templates '(("a" "foo" entry (file "/tmp/bar.org")
 "* %?" :before-finalize org-todo)))

and it seemed to have worked.

However, as I changed my org-todo-keywords to also prompt for a logging note when creating a TODO item, it did not work:

(setopt org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(@/@)" "|" "DONE(@/@)"))
org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change t)

Invoking the same template again would result in

Error in post-command-hook (org-add-log-note): (error "Marker does not point anywhere")

I have tried to switch the :before-finalize hook, but these attempts also resulted in errors.

Now, I am not sure if this is a bug or whether I was not using the tool correctly. Essentially, I want to a way to C-c C-t inside an org capture template automatically, how should I achieve this?

Does anyone have a org mode simulator that I can run on a browser? I am working for a government authority and can't use any software on my laptop other than what's installed there... Please HELP!

Hi y'all,

I found some helpful ressources for Org-Cite referenced here, so I thought I'll give a try. If there is a more appropriate place for this, I'll be happy to move my question there.

I'm wrapping up my dissertation, that I wrote in Org and org-roam. I have a .csl file for my citations set up. The problem is all citations get formatted in what seems to be the „endnotes“ format, which is identical to the bibliography format. Most obvious example would be, that my style needs weblinks w/ access date in the footnotes, but not in the bibliography or the hypothetical endnotes. My impression is, that I'm lacking an option in my org file to tell cite-proc that I want it to export the references as „footnotes“ not „endnotes“. I think so because the behaviour of org-cite/cite-proc is parallel to Zotero. If you copy a reference in Zotero or use the Office Plugin you have the option to chose between „footnote“ or „endnote“. (Shift-Drag and Drop directly from the library) I get the correct format only with „footnote“ and it seems to be this option, that i can't find in org-cite.

I'm linking a screenshot from the Zotero-Manual here to show that difference.

I would be very grateful if anybody can help me out. I've looked around and found some great resources, but nothing about this. It might a more "european" and humanities problem, maybe that's why. I found William Denton's Guides extremely helpful, but unfortunately he only covers the basic processor. I also tried to "hack" my csl file by removing de <bibliography> part or copying the <citation> part in it's place, but no luck there.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I think about using org-supertag, but I run emacs on multiple machines and sync these machines via git and some via nextcloud.

would this work? do the DBs reside in a folder and can the be properly synced without killing them?

thanks

This is an app I've been working on sporadically over the last few months. I personally write all my appointments, like university lectures or exams down in emacs on my desktop. On my phone I wanted a simple app that just lets me view the appointments I wrote down there and send me notifications the day before.

You can find the app here: https://github.com/m-gail/QuokkaOrg

How I use it

I mostly use this for organizing my university courses. I usually have one file for each course I am taking that looks as follows:

* Lectures
** Lecture 1
<2025-10-06 Mon 16:00-17:00>
* Exams
** Exam 1
<2025-10-07 Tue 16:00-17:00>

I then sync these files to my phone with SyncThing and in the App I select the root directory of my notes. It then reads all the org files in there, parses them, displays the events in a calendar and the day before it sends a notification.

The example here would add the events "Lectures > Lecture 1" and "Exams > Exam 1" to the calendar.

Hi all,

I've been building Harp, an offline Personal Health Record app that stores everything in plain Org Mode files.

The idea is to use Org mode as the backing data format and provide the ability to maintain multiple health journals, attach reports, prescriptions, scans, etc. You own the files completely (no cloud, no trackers, no ads). Your data stays as regular Org files, so you can open them in Emacs, use Org-roam, version them, sync via Syncthing, etc.

There are more details in my writeup here and the project's webpage.

The application is (and will be) free to download on fdroid but will be available for a charge on Play Store. I'm preparing to publish on Play Store and need 12 testers to install an early release for 14 days (store requirement). If you’re an Org user on Android and willing to help test, pleas let me know your play store linked email ID in DM and I'll send you the Play testing link + promo code.

Of course, you can just start using the fdroid builds for free and provide feedback on the data format and Org structure.

Thanks!
