I do like those kind of future/brainstorming threads :-)

Well this relates to me to:
- Multi-threaded GNU/Emacs
... because I have multiple CPU cores but Emacs (and Org-mode
obviously) is only able to use one single core :-(
Usually I do not care. But for complex agenda commands, I have to
wait 5-30 seconds some times. :-(
Sure, this is not an Org-mode specific issue at all.

... Org-mode works as well.
Note that you have to use "Hackers keyboard"[1] in order to type
Meta, Ctrl, ...
I could not find any hardware keyboard for Android which provided me
working ESC, Meta, Ctrl, ... so far.

This would be awesome! I do have many hand written notes I wanted to
be digitized and searchable. No, I do not want them to be published
in any cloud not owned by me.

In a few years, this should be a normal option for entering simple
text.
> - Hand-written text entry directly into Emacs, including filling in web forms
Sorry, I am *much* faster using any kind of hardware keyboard (not
on-screen ones).
