Hi all
I have been using emacs/orgmode for nearly 3 years now. since i cant really
code to save my life (im in the humanities field..i have an excuse :)) i
still feel like a newbie but i still use emacs/orgmode for nearly all
aspect of my computing life. With the help of the wonderful orgmode
community and #emacs IRC channel i now use mu4e for email, org-reveal to
prepare my classes, orgmode for all my academic/personal TODO's, i use
org-ref and helm to manage my references, use it for R analysis (we do
statistics in humanities to! ;-), I use it for my password management, and
then of course use orgmode to collect all possible information i can think
of: i use it to collect food recipes, linux tips etc. I am interested also
in using org-contact and or bbdb for contact management.
all this is great yet i travel alot to conferences and meeting and do rely
on a mobile device (in my case a android nexus 6) in many situations. I
check my emails on it as much as i do on my PC, look at upcoming and
schedule appointments, look at timed TODOS, add new contacts i meet and
collect info on the go (web links, food recipes etc).
Out of all the things i do only email (via offlineimap and mu4e) seems to
be able to Sync correctly.
I have tried various ways of syncing my calander/TODOS (via orgmobile) and
my notes (via git) with not much success. these methods with my crappy
coding skills are not rock solid and are quite cumbersome to setup and
maintain. also there dosent seem to be a solid way to sync contacts to the
mobile.
So my question is (sorry for the long intro :)) what do orgmode users (who
also are heavy mobile users) do? do they give up on contacts and
calendaring on the mobile? maintain 2 separate databases? what tools do
people use to overcome this issue?
I once had a nokia n900 which ran basically Debian linux, and thus emacs
could be run naively , these days it seems like all are android devices. I
still haven't found a gui friendly way to run emacs there.
thanks so much
best
Z
