[ANN] [OT] New Android app (Orgzly)

[Neven <neven@orgzly.com>]

Hi,

Sorry if considered spammish, but since it has been mentioned yesterday
and it might interest some Android users out there...

*NOTE* It's about an app which is *not* open source (some parts of code
will opened, see below).  If you have a problem with that, you can stop
reading right about now...

Anyway -- it is an outliner, todo-managing, notes-taking,
agenda-showing, org-mode-wannabe app, which uses .org files for encoding
the notebooks in when syncing.

Currently, only syncing to Dropbox is supported, but more methods will
follow after the first production release (starting from SSH, Git,
WebDAV probably).

As mentioned, it is not an open source project, but some parts of the
code will be released in the future.  Java reader/writer for org files
is written from scratch (imaginatively named jorgmode) and is a good
candidate for that.  Perhaps some Android-specific parts as well.

You can find more (read: less) info on:

  http://www.orgzly.com/
  
App is available on Google Play as Beta -- which means you have to join
Google group https://groups.google.com/d/forum/orgzly-android-beta
first, to get a link to it.

It has a limited set of features, but it should be already useful enough
-- you can create, edit, delete, move, promote, demote, cut, paste,
schedule, tag, prioritize and search notes.

And sync notebooks.  You might want to *copy* some of your org files to
a new directory (or directories) you'll use for syncing and make sure
you're happy with generated files.  Files should be identical *except*
for some white space.  Let me know if it doesn't work for you or you
notice anything else strange.

Not too many different org files were used for testing -- worg, personal
and some random ones found on the net were used.  If you know where to
find some more, do tell.  Never enough for this kind of testing.

Anyway -- hope you find the app useful (young as it is).

Any questions, suggestions, ideas, issues, etc. are very welcome -- you
can use the group mentioned above (posting by email is enabled), reply
to me, or use support@orgzly.com.


Thanks,

Neven
