Filestash (formerly nuage) is a web client for org-mode. It started as its author believe emacs and org-mode are the greatest thing since sliced bread. The project aims to fix the pain points org-mode's users may have:
- emacs isn't great out of the desktop world, it needs a cross platform companion app
- not everyone is willing to go through learning emacs which makes org-mode a hard to sell tool to manage team project.
From the author:
"I was looking for a simple way to backup data on Android devices directly to a device running GNU/Linux connected over a USB cable (in my case, a desktop computer).
Is this really so unique that it’s worth writing a new article about it? Well, in my case, I did not want to buffer the data on any “intermediate” devices such as storage cards connected via microSD or USB-OTG. Also, I did not want to use any proprietary tools or formats. Instead, I wanted to store my backups in “oldschool” formats such as dd-images or tar archives. I did not find a comprehensive howto for that, so I decided to write this article."
A project to create a mobile phone which tries to minimise the ecological footprint. Android is planned as operating system, but others (Firefox, Ubuntu) might be offered as well.
