alt Hacker NewsOrgmode has been on the back of my mind forever. Ive been working on implementing a system recently. My hesitation with orgmode is that I'd like to share calendar/todo list with my non technically minded spouse and I like Vim. Any suggestions?

I have not implemented a solution to this, but it's been on my radar for a while. The two best options of which I'm aware are:
1. Export a .ics file based on your agenda (support for this is built-in) to a shared folder to which your spouse has access (syncthing/dropbox/whatever). Your spouse would then use their calendar app to subscribe to the ics file. When you push changes to the ics file, they would automatically propagate on the calendar.
2. Use built-in org html export features to generate a simple page showing your schedule and either host it on your local network or put it in a shared directory as described above.
edit: sibling comment has a better suggestion (org-caldav)
I'm in the exact same boat. I've started exploring https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode and it seems to be a pretty accurate emulation of Emacs Orgmode, or at least I haven't run into its limitations yet since I'm just starting to explore it. I still haven't solved the sharing of calender/todo info but this page has some ideas that could work to varying degrees: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html
I basically just wrote my answers in a neighboring comment, but I would try Spacemacs (default is Evil mode aka vim mode) backed with an Obsidian vault. I share a subfolder of the vault with my wife via iCloud, who can open it up on her phone and see the content and make edits in a non-techie way.
if you want to fall back to a less hardcore intro try spacemacs or doom emacs, very vim friendly

There is org-caldav that you can point to an org file and it syncs with a caldav server. This way you can have two-way sync from e.g. a phone's calendar to your org file.
