Awesome!

I especially look forward to trying Org mode with this. One of the biggest weaknesses of Org-mode as a planning tool is the situation on mobile.

Any tips for configuring Emacs to work well in this environment? E.g. with strokes-mode or gestures? I saw Emacs is getting some improvements to touchscreen support which is coming in Emacs 29 [1].

For the life of me I still do not understand the syncing model on Orgzly.

I love this app, I use it daily, I just do not understand why it needs it's own internal node model that it has to sync to file, instead of just.... reading the file, parsing it, and writing it....

My solution: orgzly syncs to a local file, the local file is synced with synching. Works flawlessly for my files.
