I feel like a lot more people would benefit from org-mode than are up to the task of configuring Emacs.

https://www.deepdwn.com/ is frustratingly close, but uses its own, Markdown-based syntax...

Back in 1994 my gradeschool kids had web pages they created in . It's not hard. It is DEEP if you want to go there, and that depth includes how it can deliver org-mode &c, but a casual user does not need to learn elisp to use it. For years a blind musician friend used Emacspeak as his email and web client. (somewhere exists my Gentle Introduction to Emacspeak)

People are actually very good at learning, they just don't want to 😅

I have been told doom and space emacs are very turnkey and GUI friendly

I pointed Logseq at my notes folder, and there are my org files, presented like normal bulleted lists in a word processor or whatever.

I guess this is the thing!

It doesn't support everything I want from an org file editor, notably inline TODOs with priorities... which makes sense, since it's not 1.0 yet. I am a little confused that, though it's written in Clojure, they didn't actually embed org-mode itself--surely, they could write a translator from the one Lisp to the other in Emacs Lisp itself?

What a weird name, though
