I've used org-mode to publish books, pocket mods, invoice clients, run tabletop games, organize links and snippets... while text is supposedly the universal interface in the Unix world it does have limitations when it comes to sharing information across devices. I carry my laptop with me so this isn't a problem for me but I know it's there and not yet solved.

A mobile org-mode client with cloud sharing would go a long way.

MobileOrg[1] was good for a while—it had Dropbox and WebDAV support—but it hasn’t had an update in a couple of years and is badly in need of a new maintainer.

Recently someone has made a new client called Orgzly[1] which is actually really well designed. Sync works well enough for me over Dropbox, though I'd really rather use ssh. I guess overall there's a little impedance mismatch between Org-mode plaintext and mobile interfaces but overall I think it works well.

Dropbox support was cool, but I recall MobileOrg being buggy to the point of making it completely useless, not to mention pretty bad UI. This project really needs some love.

It is cool to support Dropbox, but I never make it work since it's buggy.

Thanks for doing that. I hate how people can not have any idea that they've been banned. I wonder what he was banned for.

I absolutely see the value in writing journals, agendas and even books using org-mode. It naturally feels like an outline, and with the integrated TODO feature I'm able to check off parts of the document without exporting it to the final form. There is just that gap when I go mobile.

Maybe I should put-up or shut-up and hack on something!

Until something better comes along, use GitHub. It'll render org files.

I've created a couple short-cuts on my iPad:
