What are these features that PMs can't live without, that they don't get with an alternative such as, say, Pivotal Tracker?


Pivotal Tracker. I've found it to be a much more productive tool, and teams using it typically move alot faster and are far happier than those using Jira.


Teams is down too


I can’t play Flight Simulator, even, as apparently setting up offline mode requires being online.


This demonstrates one of my least favorite dark patterns of recent software.


It doesn't really make a difference, does it?


The tables / spreadsheet functionality can be super helpful when you just need to jot down thoughts which lead to comparisons which lead to calculations which lead to helping you decide which path you want to go down. It's really great to not have to leave the context of what I'm doing and just open up an org mode buffer and jot down my thoughts and then come out with an answer that is backed by calculations I'm confident in. Very handy 'back of the envelope' or 'napkin' alternative!

For anyone looking for a good place to start, here's a great resource: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#GettingStarted


Yes, there's a great blog post that describes how this functionality is really helpful to manage your life as lots of little spreadsheets [1].

For me that's the true advantage of Org over Markdown. It has timestamps, spreadsheets and links with citations (e.g. a DOI link type). Plus the ability to get programmatic document views using org-agenda. I can manage my whole life in a really minimal and uncomplicated way.

Of course, you can develop a really fancy Org setup. But I think a minimal one, with these features and defaults is really good enough. Plus, not hard to learn.

This is great. Nice work! I built something really similar about 3 years ago, a few months before my 4th child was born. Then I lost interest lol. Super barebones POC https://justwatchwith.me/ The idea was that you could stream videos directly from your machine and watch in sync with remote friends and family, controlling the playback with a pause button. I didn't maintain it for a while after I built the POC because not many of my friends / family were very interested at the time. If I only had more time to improve it..... they probably would've appreciated it more under current circumstances if I continued to work on it lol


cool, and yea I am not sure if people would want something like this at all, it just seemed like a fun idea to me.


Pro-tip for engineers on spreadsheets: Org-mode & emacs is a great tool for the random spreadsheet you might want to scratch out to compare something or get some running totals or do cost-benefit analysis or whatever. Check out https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreadsheet-lisp-... and https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/org.html...

I recently used it to find out how much a certain company owes me based on a monthly guarantee obligation they have continuously fallen short of . I've also used it to do comparisons and find out the maximum I can save on a refinance from different lenders etc, whether I should lease or purchase a car etc.. Very useful!


This elephant was addressed long ago by Jon Wiegly's use-package.


I’d bet my money that most people (esp those using spacemacs) have multi-second time-till-edit still.


I've been using web-mode and it's awesome. Works well with jsx. My config is here https://github.com/sufyanadam/.emacs.d
