Description

Emacs on Android opens up a world of new possibilities for replacing proprietary software with free alternatives. One such use case is using Emacs and org-mode to replace the popular weightlifting tracking apps like Hevy and Strong.

Org-mode provides a solid foundation to replicate these apps functionalities but by itself is cumbersome to use in the middle of a workout. With the help of Elisp however, we can provide an experience as seamless as these paid apps, but with added flexibility and freedom.

This talk will go over the package itself as well as the way org-mode can be used as the foundation for applications on top of it.

About the speaker:

I'm Zachary Romero, a software developer and Emacs enthusiast. I've been weightlifting for about three years when I grew tired of the many apps constantly trying to push subscriptions. Knowing the many things org-mode can do, I set about trying to replicate the same functionality in Emacs.
