Same team! Also an orgmode user who uses it for all things longform... A decade+ and counting. Only recently do I see need to start adopting TODOs because work and life tasks are threatening to go beyond the capacity of my normie calendar and paper lists coping mechanisms.

Orgmode text is fairly well supported now, across a plethora of non-Emacs apps and editors. I've enumerated several in my post [0].

Quoting oneself...

     mobile: Orgro, a mobile Org Mode file viewer for iOS and Android
     mobile: Plain Org, org text view and editor for iOS
     mobile: Orgzly, org text viewer and editor for Android (I use this on my phone, and sync notes to my PC with Dropbox).
     mobile: beorg for iOS (tasks, projects, notes)
     mobile: flathabits, inspired by Atomic Habits, with all your data stored in org files
     web+desktop: logseq, a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base
     web: organise, web-based org text editor and viewer
     web: braintool.org, a Chrome plugin "to easily capture and categorize all the information and knowledge you want to keep track of, right at the point you discover it or create it"

     More community-enumerated tools for the same
     Even Github, Gitlab etc. support org markup these days!
