A little off-topic: Is there a way to stream ORG mode text directly from emacs to emacs, eliminating the browser part?

Edit: Another way of saying this is blogging and blog-consumption directly on Emacs. I think it could be possible.

No, but it'd be easy. You need

1. a request to return org-mode data (or for requests to contain it in a mechanically distinguishable manner, an option if your normal output is org-mode plus some JavaScript that renders the page from org-mode)

2. some Emacs code to populate a buffer with org-mode data extracted from an HTTP request

That's it. Neither of those are technically difficult. Although there's lots of room for improvement, and that's where people might start to get interested. For example, you could develop org-mode as an alternative to Jupyter notebooks.
