[Suggestion] Add new entries via org-protocol-capture

[ifinkelstein]

Scheduling a new event in the browser adds a top-level heading TODO item in a hard-coded inbox.org file.

Instead, consider using org-protocol-capture to schedule a new event. This will simplify how users can customize details of where an event is added to their workflow.

Alternatively, consider not hard-coding the filename and top-level heading.

Yeah, #1 is tracking this.

I like this idea, going to have to investigate some more. org-protocol requires for capture templates to be setup first. Also org-protocol is interactive I believe? The other option, since the server is running in emacs context is to invoke org-capture directly, but again I'm not sure how interactivity works yet.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think org-protocol-capture doesn't need to be interactive. For example, (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-protocol-capture-html) uses a similar strategy to capture HTML from a browser.

You may want to check that code. Your package may allow the user to modify a default protocol that you pre-configure. Just a thought.

#1 is fixed, available in the latest release.

I will look into org-capture-protocol further though.
