orgdown VS SingleFileZ

There are two reasons why I call Org mode standardized.

> I imagine there aren't really various flavors of Org Mode, but that doesn't make it standardized.

All the implementations that call themselves org-mode follow the conventions set by the canonical implementation - the Emacs org-mode. While this may not sound like a good reason to call it standardized, the practical implication is a vast difference from what you get with various markdown flavors. In the latter case, the only way to make sure that your markdown is correct, is to test it with the target implementation.

The second reason is that there is an actual effort to standardize org-mode - called Orgdown [1]. Org-mode is already more or less uniform across implementations. This effort tries to write it down as a reference. Markdown has a similar effort called CommonMark. But if you want to know why it's different, you have to look at the history of why it isn't called 'Standard Markdown'.

And yes, at least my setup fulfills all of your requirements and much more. For starters, I can add tags, date- and timestamps everywhere, generate "agenda" views for days/weeks/months/... which collects all those time-related items and visualizes them, I can link emails/urls/... and links to files which I tag as well, I can search through search strings or regex to find meta-data on files/notes/events/... and it's all in the most versatile file format possible: plain UTF-8 text files containing simple orgdown syntax, the most beautifully designed lightweight markup language (LML) there is IMHO.

Are you aware of orgdown?

If you want to parse Orgdown files yourself, expect to invest some time in setting up a testing environment.

I think we've got a misunderstanding here. Text files (in this case in orgdown syntax format) are files that contain the information in its original form: characters, words, sentences. So you only need a software that lets you open a text file to view it. If you want to modify the information stored in the text files, you need an application that lets you modify text files. In case of orgdown, you can find options on https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/doc/Tool-Support.org or choose any non-syntax-specific editor of your choice.

So the links are working in Markdown? So Markdown-export is working and your issue starts with the conversion from Markdown to Orgdown?

Well, the difference is that Orgdown, the syntax of Org mode for GNU Emacs is a Lightweight markup language while HTML is a more complex markup language.

Since your notes are in orgdown format, you may use any compatible app that understands to read and probably write orgdown. One of them is GNU Emacs with its org-mode.

I'm thinking of a screen that pops up when booting Emacs that only shows the files I was working on recently in large font (maybe as buttons to click on). The file extension should be hidden, so that I may use it with Orgdown files that have long, descriptive file names (most probably within the same directory).

You can do the same thing with SingleFileZ [1] which can protect saved pages with a password. It relies on the zip specification to store encrypted resources.

How can I unzip file, that have extension .zip.html? If I will cut .html, then I extract, but I want sometimes open .html and sometimes unzip it. What can I do? I used that extension, that download a file with .zip.html file: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

An alternative that could interest you is SingleFileZ, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ. It produces self-extracting zip files that you can unzip in order to get the page and its resources (e.g. stylesheets, images, fonts) separately.

Not sure about chrome but singlefilez on firefox can be set to auto save pages from a bookmark folder you specify.

I agree that browsers should offer an API in order to get all the resources easily. It would make things much easier. However, for security reasons, this API would be restricted to environments like Web Extensions. FYI, I also took another approach that might interest you, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ. The main drawback is that the HTML produced by SingleFileZ is not valid.

Use something like SingleFileZ.

While looking at percollate, I came across this: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ - a fork of SingleFile. Interesting approach.

Why a pdf? I suggest using this add-on https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile or https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

If you do have files whose names begin with an ISO 8601 compliant date- or timestamp, the filenametimestamps module with do the trick. This way, I index all photographs, all web downloads, emails, usenet postings, ... just by choosing a specific file name prefix format. Same holds true for web pages which are automatically saved using SingleFileZ to files matching that filename prefix format. There you go, this is how I solve your original question.
