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.

Self-hosted journaling app
Depending on the functionality your looking for jrnl is an excellent tool. It has built in tags and search, and saves everything in a simple file format on disk. https://github.com/jrnl-org/jrnl

I use this terminal based app named 'jrnl' to take notes and today I find all notes dating as far back as Jun 2022(when I started using it) to Dec 3rd are gone. My journal.txt files starts from 2022-12-03 18:19 CAT
I see that you posted an issue at the developer's GitHub repository. That's probably the best move available.

Moving from jrnl to bear for journaling
I enjoy the single file format of jrnl and have been using an Apple shortcut that creates a similar [yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm] stamp prior to each entry where I store my journal.txt on iCloud Drive.
