Hi Jean Louis,
Thanks for your feedback.

The idea of Org QL is to make such things simple. For example, you
don't need to know Elisp to run "M-x org-ql-search RET" and type this
query:
todo: priority:A deadline:to=3
Which would display all to-do items with priority A due within the next
3 days.

The org-ql-search and org-ql-view UIs are built on the underlying org-ql
library.

This is already implemented. Search views can be built incrementally
using the Transient UI. See the screencast GIFs in the readme.

See "M-x org-ql-view-recent-items RET".

This is already implemented. See the sections "Links" and "Dynamic
Blocks" in the readme.

Those are interesting ideas for future work, thanks.

I went to https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/blob/master/examples.org
and clicked the links in "Contents" and they work for me.

If you install org-ql from MELPA or with Quelpa, org-super-agenda will
be installed automatically. The `require' function does not install
packages.
Thanks,
Adam
