Org-mode on web, built with React, for mobile, synced with Dropbox, Google Drive

This looks cool!

But could you (if you are the author?) please restrict the Google Drive permissions from “See, edit, create and delete all of your Google Drive files” to only affect a sub directory of my drive please? That’s best practice for isolation.

Thanks!

I'd recommend the author use the OAuth 2.0 scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file ("View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app") instead of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive ("See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files"), if/when they get a chance to work on this.

Anyway, this is really cool and totally fills a niche for me (90% of the time I want to edit org files in Emacs on my computer, but sometimes I need remote access). So I'm really happy to see this exists.

Yep, I should’ve done that in the first place, and it’s on my todo list, though I haven’t put many hours into org-web lately. In the meantime, you can always host the project yourself if that makes you feel a bit more comfortable about linking to GDrive (though this doesn’t solve every potential privacy issue, of course)

There is actually no OAuth 2 scope that allow only subdirectory access. App developers can either get full access, per-file access with a file picker or Application data folder access. Using Application data folder would seem to be the right choice but there is one problem: you cannot access Application data folder through Google Drive apps. Only the OAuth 2 application can access that folder. You can delete it in your Google Drive settings but you cannot see the actual files.

not the author, just a non-techy person who wants to try org mode without the complexity of emacs.

A non-techy person who has heard of emacs!

"Non-techy" is Impostor Syndrome for "somewhat techy".

I think org-mode has contributed a lot to making emacs more popular (or less obscure, depending on how you see it? :) )

See this for example: https://github.com/incandescentman/Emacs-Settings

Just as a bit of encouragement, I used emacs for like 4 years knowing only 5 commands (open file, change buffers, save file, kill buffer, close emacs).

It's not that bad if you wade into it slowly.
