Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Ask HN: Has Anyone Trained a personal LLM using their personal notes?
- or to visualize and use it as a personal partner.
There's already a ton of open-source UIs such as Chatbot-ui[3] and Reor[4]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Personally, I haven't been consistent enough through the years in note-taking.
So, I'm really curious to learn more about those of you who were and implemented such pipelines.
I'm sure there's a ton of really fascinating experiences.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
Obligatory reference to Emacs Org-Mode [1].
Author's approach is basically Org-Mode with fewer helpers.
Org-mode's power is that, at core, it's just a text file, with gradual augmentation.
Then again, Org-Mode is a tool you must install, accessible through a limited list of clients (Emacs obviously, but also VSCode), and the power of OP's approach is that it requires no external tools.

Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers
This reminds me a lot of [Org Mode](https://orgmode.org/). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application.

How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.
If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."

Ask HN: Local Wysiwyg HTML Editor for Mac
Wow, no one has recommended Org mode (https://orgmode.org). I started using Emacs nearly 20 years ago specifically because of Org. I use Org for all my static sites, note taking, to-do lists and calendar. Org has a lightweight markup language that has far more features than Markdown (e.g., plain text spreadsheets!), but the markup isn't visible to the extent that Markdown is in most editors. Emacs with Org files behaves almost like a WYSIWYG editor. For example, links in Org files are clickable and their URLs aren't visible unless a cursor is hovered over them. I'm an obsessive note-taker with more than 6,000 Org files in my personal knowledge base and none of the dozens of other note-taking apps that I've evaluated comes even close to Emacs with Org. But to be fair, I create content on Linux only so support for mobile devices doesn't matter to me.
By the way, I think it's hilarious that you mentioned Dreamweaver, dv35z, because I experimented with using Dreamweaver for note-taking in the 90s! I still have a few HTML files that include notes I took back then using Dreamweaver. Needless to say, I definitely prefer Emacs with Org!

Think in Analog, Capture in Digital
Just another reason for one to get into org-mode[1] and org-roam[2].
Combine this with the concept of Zettelkasten[3] and you have a wonderful way to organize and store all your notes and writings, and even a way to know at what point you should move your idea from analog to digital (based on it's maturity, e.g. "evergreen state").
