Something that came up in yesterday's show about org mode was a wish to mix major modes in the same Emacs buffer.
(I suppose that would be multimodal editing, but I can also imagine it called polymodal editing.)
A possible approach to tackle this partially is to copy a section of the buffer into a temporary buffer, edit it there in the appropriate mode, and copy it back.
This is clumsy, of course, and the effort to implement it might be too big, but such a feature would be better than nothing.

(Today I again found myself wishing I had mixed modes, and that without org mode.)

Ich habe heute noch eine kleine Rezeptsammlung im #orgmode erstellt. Das ganze wird mittels #orgpublish exportiert und auf meinen Raspberry Pi übertragen. So haben wir immer unsere Rezepte einfach im Zugriff.
Was man mit #emacs alles so machen kann....

A nice thing about #OrgMode files is that they age quite well.

Notes written years ago are still just #PlainText files I can open anywhere. No export step required, no discontinued service to worry about.

beorg works with the same approach on iOS.

@yantar92 @screwlisp I know.

However, I think you've got the Org point of view perspective and I want to promote Orgdown to people who will never hear of Emacs or are even opposing the use of Emacs. Totally different turf and hosting information at org or worg doesn't help here.

That's totally different perspective and the way non Org people stumble over information.

After all, the #Emacs community never differentiated the tool #Orgmode from the much more general lightweight #markup language #Orgdown. The focus of #OD is the latter and I want to promote that by mostly neglecting any connection to Emacs, Elisp and the communities involved. Not directing people to the mixup of information on Orgmode.org was a very deliberate decision of mine.

I know that some org community people disagree with my approach for various reasons. Some of the arguments do have real substance, most rather not.

YMMV
