@jameshowell When I started this, I wasn't quite sure anyone else would ever be interested in something so niche ... Anyway, I made the repo visible, in case others want to poke around in the repo.
https://codeberg.org/schue/org-canvas
It is quite astonishing, how the power of babel and the Org-mode export engine just translate to Canvas pages. I really hope I can make some strides to map Org to Canvas to include modules, assignments and quizzes, etc. in a logical way.

Pro tip: put in a little time, every six or twelve months, for curating your email filters. The return on #ADHD investment is wildly disproportionate to the effort.

@jameshowell Thank you! It was weird thinking back to that. Do you remember the XFree86 server that was built to run in low memory situations? Was it called Xtiny or something? #xwindows #xfree86

@schuemaa @jameshowell This is what I use to interact with canvas with an org file. I use it mainly for pages and announcements (which covers 90% of my use).

True.
However, you've switched from a very rich syntax (#LaTeX) to a very simplistic one (lightweight markup language - #LML). There's a difference in output: https://karl-voit.at/2015/07/26/LaTeX-typography/
Don't get me wrong: I, too, prefer writing documents in #Orgmode and exporting to PDF myself. It's a very good compromise.
Meanwhile, I'd not care if the process switched from org->(pdf)latex->PDF to org-> #typst ->PDF or anything similar.
However, I'm not so sure if I'd use Org for setting a document where I really want to get the maximum, like I tried with my PhD thesis: https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml

My amazing faculty colleagues at The Pennsylvania State University have just WON our vote to form a labor union!
The vote was historic: the biggest vote in education in Pennsylvania history. Now 5,000 plus of us are part of SEIU local 668!
Initial reports are that we won with 75% of the vote. Three to one.

@peaoPerdido First, #syncthing is brilliant, paired with Orgzly Revived for years. But yes, conflicts can arise during mobile capture.
My strategy has been to have a separate capture.org file in my Org directory. It only gets written to on mobile, and it gets treated as read-only from Emacs. Then I org-refile those mobile-capture headings into my main #GTD file anytime I'm doing process/organize steps.

@schuemaa Gah, the Canvas API. I have not been able to wrap my brain around it. At the beginning of every term I WASTE SO MUCH TIME reconfiguring three new courses by hand, click click click, when I know it principle it could be automated.
Please share a repository showing some examples!
