pdf-tools got a new maintainer!
It looks enjoy pdf-tools got a new maintainer and he already changed the the melpa ⠀recipe, so you can get it via the package manager. I think this is a good development. My impression is, that he is new as an Emacs package maintainer, so please be kind and supportive, so he will stay on it for a while. :)

org-tree-to-indirect-buffers, hide text in main pane.
I have the same problem with https://github.com/alphapapa/org-sidebar. When I have time I intend to try to hack together some kind of solution. It would probably be really hacky, involving after-change-functions in the buffers, or something like that.
