I can relate; locked into Emacs is not a problem on desktop, but when not on a machine it is a big liability. Leaving all the little clever hacks and fine tuning behind for large part of my day make me feel...less.
I have tried a bunch of org-mode parsers to get out of Emacs for some of my workflows (e.g blogging, note taking/reading), but they all have the problem that anything I built on top of org gets left behind.
Most recently, I've been experimenting with just delegating the job of Emacs to Emacs itself e.g for blogging, converting my org-mode files to HTML. Here's the code I am using: https://github.com/bitspook/cl-ownpress
I am using it for converting my org-roam notes to mobile-readable HTML so I can read them when on the move and explore my notes based on tags, a featuer I've found missing in the popular org-roam-ui (last time I tried it). I am also using it to create my blog. So far so good.
I enjoy fantasizing how the lisp hacks I do in emacs/org on desktop could carry over to mobile.

No. I didn't even think of that. But it sounds like a great idea. I'll explore. Thank you.

It has had its ups and downs, but I can say I am much happier in general. General restlessness/anxiety I used to have all the time has significantly come down. I got to experience sort of a stillness of thoughts, which has been a new experience for me.
I've been mulling over writing a 6-month update to document my thoughts/experience; will do soon.
Going through the readme and the homepage still left me asking "What exactly does it do?". Going through the readme, their home page, and this blog post (https://blog.ariga.io/meet-atlas-cli/), here's a tldr;
It's terraform, but for database.
- It allows defining SQL database schema in HCL (terraform's DSL) for now.
- It can inspect a database and create the HCL for it.
- It can do database migrations similar to terraform. You define the new schema in HCL, and it allegedly takes care of producing the SQL needed to perform the migration. It also has a "plan" step like Terraform.

I hope I didn't missunderstand or missed something.
I have had similar thoughts for some time too! Thoughts of building a co-op, and open source software needed to support it.
Coincidentally, I have a resignation email written, and have been sitting on it for several days. I am looking to quit work (for some time) not to work on an ambitious project, but just to see what will become of me when I do so. I started my career as a freelancer, and ADHD gave me tons of trouble. Structure and accountabiliy that a regular day job brought made my life very easier, motivation-for-work wise. Now after 5 years of doing a day job, I want to see what I will do when I don't have that structure around me.
This kind of articles which explain something which looks simple, but involve a few concepts beginners don't get to use very often; is something Haskell community needs more of. Article does a great job touching different topics to sufficient depth, keep good pace, and isn't introducing something too challenging. A great tea-time reading for a Haskell/FP beginner!
