* GitHub does render .org files just like Markdown!

* I've heard people of people being really happy with Orgzly on Android. I personally run Emacs on my Android phone through Termux. It works really well for me. Other solutions include using a SSH client to connect to a server running Emacs, or simply using GitHub directly on mobile web or their app if your notes are on GitHub.

* I've made the switch from Vim to Emacs (+ evil-mode) because of org-mode and have been extremely happy with it. It truly changed my life.

I've built an org mode editor that connects to git repo and works form the browser, it looks like this: https://demo.filestash.app/login?next=/view/org/emacs.org#ty...

Pages can be exported in a wiki that is rendered dynamically by emacs like this: https://demo.filestash.app/api/export/hn/text/html/emacs.org or if you prefer pdf: https://demo.filestash.app/api/export/hn/application/pdf/ema...

The code is on github: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

This looks awesome! It mentions “full text search” but I wasn’t able to get it to work in the demo. Does it support searching though all your org files?
FTS is only available when you host your own as it relies on crawl + index and such operation can be expensive when used against a storage backend like S3 where API calls and bandwidth aren't free. On the demo server, the search is stateless and does recursive call with a timeout
sadly GitHub's version of org-mode parser haven't been updated for a while, there is a fair amount of very annoying issues :( https://github.com/novoid/github-orgmode-tests

Do you use a bluetooth keyboard? I can't imagine using Vim (my primary driver) over a phone.
