Show HN: Simple org-mode web adapter

A tiny, local-only notes app just hit the scene and the comment section immediately turned into Team Simple vs. Team Already-Exists. The tool lets you browse and edit your plain-text Org files (popular with power users) in a clean 3‑pane view—no accounts, no cloud, just your computer. One fan, clearly smitten, called it “so light weight, so easy to find things,” saying it even replaces heavier apps they used to mimic like Roam.

But the peanut gallery brought receipts. One crowd waved smartphones in the air shouting “mobile or bust,” with a push to try Orgzly Revived—a phone app that syncs notes from a Git folder so you can take everything on the go. Another camp rallied behind organice, a more established web option. Cue the friendly turf war: purists cheering the minimalist, zero-fuss approach vs. pragmatists pointing to feature-rich alternatives.

Then there’s the spicy bit: the app warns there’s no login and no encryption, which sparked jokes about “only run this on a trusted network” being nerd-speak for “don’t be reckless.” Fans shrugged—this is a local tool, not a cloud service—and praised the honesty. The vibe? Classic Show HN: one dev builds something tiny and useful, the community piles in with helpful comparisons, a few safety winks, and someone already promised to submit improvements. Light drama, strong enthusiasm, and a rare moment where “less” actually won hearts.
