Plain Text Journaling in Vim
Shameless plug of basically the same idea except as a pip package:
https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli
`pip install diarycli`
Alternatively there is a shell version if you are averse to python/pip package manager as well:
https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
I've been using this for years, it doesn't have any fancy features - it only reliably opens up/create today's diary in vim whenever I type `diary` in command line. with some minor utilities.

The power of keeping a coding journal (2014)
Shameless plug on the same subject if you are vim user fond of terminal:
https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli
`pip install diarycli`
Alternatively there is a shell version if you are averse to python/pip package manager as well:
https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
The only way I can get myself to write things down is to have it one commands away in the terminal.

Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
Diary script.
`$ diary` create/open a file for today's diary in vim: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
Or try `pip install diarycli`: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli, for a pip packaged python version that does the exact same thing.
I've actually kept diary and work logs, things I did not know I was capable of.

Show HN: Diarycli
Having had good usage and some positive feedback on https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh, I decided to pack it into a pip package.
Essentially, all this does is to make creating diary super simple in the CLI, and resulting diary organized in a nice /diary/year/month/date.md hierarchy.
Having used this for a few years, I find this tool indispensable - I was never able to write diary consistently but once it was available via `diary` it became nature to utilize this to manage daily tasks at work and write personal reflections at home.

Take More Screenshots
> For example, my oldest files were made in Microsoft Word on an iMac G3 running Mac OS 9. I can open them in a modern word processor, and they look similar – but it’s not the same. Some of the fonts and graphics are missing, and I don’t know where I’d find replacements.
> It’s even harder for an undocumented side project I abandoned years ago. Having the code isn’t the same as a working application.
The author's solution to this is apparently screenshots, I have to respectfully disagree.
For software, side project or not, it should probably come with dependency configurations (granted, in early 2000s this isn't as mature as it is today) and some tests. My side projects basically all have tests, these tests are vital for picking up years later and for validation while developing.
For personal notes, I use this script which upon `$ diary` would create/open an entry for the current day in the appropriate folder with vim: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh. Text files will last forever, it has some basic flavoring with markdown, but that's it. The folder where this is indexed is without a doubt the most valuable data on my computer, and it stretches back years.
I do occasionally take screenshots but never for reasons that author find screenshot to be useful for.

Writing down what I do – in Obsidian
For the unix fundamentalist out here:
https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
I had this little script aliased from shell, whenever I type `diary` it creates/open the current days' note file in vim.

Notes Against Note-Taking Systems
Here's my note taking system: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
Whenever I type `diary` in the terminal, it opens vim on a text file that corresponds to today. All of the diary files are nicely ordered in directory structure that goes $DIARY_ROOT/$year/$month/$day.md
It worked very well for me over years.

History and Effective Use of Vim
A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app
It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.
If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.
-
after kindaVim that adds Vim moves to any UI element on macOS, here's my second app: Wooshy. reach those UI elements through searching the whole macOS UI.
there's some free solutions out there like Karabiner-Elements(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) (but doesn't manipulate/calculate text, just key mapping) and VimMode.spoon (https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon). if you don't wanna bother with setting those up there's also one-time payment stuff, that are basically wrappers around Karabiner Elements.
- Vim for the whole macOS—kindaVim stable is out: Vim motions in UI, native apps, browsers, Electron apps, etc.

Win-Vind: Become an instant ninja in operating Windows at the speed of thought
Love to see this windows project! If anyone wants some MacOS Vim functionality everywhere, I have a small library I maintain for that: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

if you're on macOS and you love Vim so much that you want it anywhere 🔥️🔥️🔥️
Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon
