Sure...using forms-mode to search, add and update information in a postgres db.

I would like to find a way for everyone to use org-mode but we were running into too many merge conflicts.

I just learned about mmm-mode (https://github.com/purcell/mmm-mode) but I haven't really dug into it to see if this could be the bridge between Org-mode + forms-mode.




Interesting, I hadn't thought of using forms-mode to do that. It doesn't seem to support it out of the box – are you writing other functions to dump the results of a postgres query into a file, and then using forms-mode to edit that?

Editing and entering structured data is still one of the most annoying tasks I do, and I still don't have a good solution to it.


We have postgrest ( https://postgrest.com ) between emacs and postgres. PostgREST turns a postgresql database into a restful api.

The emacs package requires request, json, widget, wid-edit and cl.

I would like to open source it in the near future.


Announce it someplace if you do!


Will do!
