Org-Mode is great but not perfect. I would be willing to pay a significant amount of money for anyone that can reproduce most of the features of org-mode outside of emacs in a light-weight format.

It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult but it hasn't happened yet. People seem to start replicating org-mode, realize how many complex features there are and give fall off before completion.

I'm wondering if it's possible to reproduce org-mode features outside of Emacs at all. I think it relies on the Emacs ecosystem a lot, and that what makes org-mode so great.

I mean, it's very consistent with the editor itself, it's intuitive to pick up and to navigate notes for anyone who's used Emacs before. Would it be comparable in other ecosystems (e.g. in a Web browser)?
