alfred-search-notes-app VS notational-fzf-vim

Same here - the devil on my shoulder gets me all excited about the dev cycle and advanced features, many of which I'll never use. Meanwhile, nothing comes close to apple notes for quick capture and search (particularly with the alfred plugin). This has been my thought process - since recording that, the siren of obsidian still calls after hearing about their corkboard feature.

#2 is from sballin

I'm sure you have tried it but I have always used this workflow for apple notes https://github.com/sballin/alfred-search-notes-app

notational-fzf-vim is similar to shell-velocity and also looks pretty good, but is now unmaintained and I do not have the knowledge to maintain it myself should something break. Has the same lack of automatic git syncing.

For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

nb is very good and I've used it extensively for the last 2 years or so. I especially like that you can just throw it a url and it will create a bookmark as well as download a markdown version of the page (using pandoc to convert I think?) This is very useful, especially when links go stale

Also, if you install notational-fzf-vim (https://github.com/Alok/notational-fzf-vim) and point it at the nb folder, searching through notes becomes a breeze. Additionally, you can use vim-markdown-composer (https://github.com/euclio/vim-markdown-composer) as a previewer for markdown in vim.

Have you looked at https://github.com/renerocksai/telekasten.nvim or https://github.com/alok/notational-fzf-vim ?

I use Notable on Linux and Noteless on Android, with Foldersync for automatically syncing. I tried Obsidian, and prefer Noteless' interface, where I can see all notes just reverse sorted by modification time. Both have a tag view.

In addition, there's the excellent vim plugin https://github.com/Alok/notational-fzf-vim that allows fuzzy search of notes in vim.

Hi , pls help I am trying to get https://github.com/alok/notational-fzf-vim to work.

I'm still in love with alok/notational-fzf-vim. It gives a notational-velocity like interface via fzf.

I use nb https://github.com/xwmx/nb for both bookmarks and notetaking. nb downloads a shallow copy of the link and stores it along with the bookmark.

All notes (and consequently bookmarks and their contents) are stored as plain-text markdown files - so there's no dependency on a proprietary format, and all the content becomes searchable.

If you're a vim-user, you can also get the notational-fzf-vim plugin (https://github.com/alok/notational-fzf-vim) and point it to the notes/bookmarks folder, and have full fuzzy search over all the content.
