My kid is 6 y/o and she is learning to read. She's moved through the basic phonics with Teach Your Monster to Read but was struggling with how repetitive it was. I wanted to give her some stories to read, but she still needed help sounding words out - and I wanted her to have the experience of sitting and reading by herself.

My 12 year old son wrote the first story, there's a cliffhanger at the end and he's working on the next section. We're going to release more chapters and more…

I've been a heavy user of Emacs Org mode for a decade and a half. As AI has reduced how often I'm using a text-editor, I was finding myself tied to spacemacs just for Org, and I was searching for a way to keep those workflows and notes, but be fully decoupled from Emacs.

Today I'm excited to launch Celorga: a portable re-implementation of Org, with no dependency on Emacs or elisp, and adds many primitives so you can use it with all of your agents. Celorga offers a portable…
