OrgVM is, so far, a very simple nodejs wrapper, invoking Emacs in
batch mode. I'll talk about how I use it to make project notes
available on demand to my colleagues and how it works, especially the
generation of elisp from javascript/JSON.
# Discussion
## Questions and answers
- Q: Why not build upon Nic Ferrier's elnode web server written in
Elisp? As Nic describes it: "Elnode is a non-blocking IO webserver
written entirely in EmacsLisp. It's like an EmacsLisp version of
node.js." Your implementation will likely get much simpler if you
keep it all in Lisp.
- A: I chose to build with node.js because that was easy for me;
but an Emacs based version sounds awesome!
- Q: Is this using org-info-js?
- A: nope; I need to learn more about this - seems very exciting
and like it could influence this project
- Q: Why did you make yet another web server?
- I read it was to make your org files portable.
- He's auto-generating .html files to match his org files in the background so that he can browse them via web browser right?
- Q: How is that portable. You still need a web browser. Org files need the very basic..... cat
- Q: Have you heard about https://codeberg.org/gopiandcode/emacs-viewer, by any chance?
