gcalcli VS notable

gcalcli

I use Thunderbird, but also gcalcli (https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli) for quickly viewing daily agendas and adding events in the terminal. It has a nice “quick add” function that lets you add event using a natural language interface — you can type something like “Lunch with Amy next Wednesday at 2 PM at Trevino’s” and it will parse out the event name, time, and location. Google Calendar used to have something like this but removed it in a UI update.

gcalcli: really just a CLI interface to Google Calendar, so bringing it to mobile would basically involve re-inventing Google Calendar.

I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.

gcalcli - Google Calendar Command Line Interface

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

So I have an app which uses the gcalcli tool on Ubuntu. It integrates with my personal google calendar by using my own personal google cloud project with the calendar api enabled, and I provide it a desktop oauth token and secret. I run it as a testing project. Until now, it’s been working fine, but from today, I keep getting an error message on the oauth screen saying that it’s trying to access my sensitive data and it’s been blocked. As much as I’m confident I haven’t changed anything, I could well have.

gcalcli: terminal interface for Google Calendar.

Yeah; it is 500. But it works for me with the `gcalcli`[1] — a Python command-line tool that uses GCal API. (I'm assuming it's not serving me stale data.)

And I was confusing it with https://notable.app/

I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. And the tagging support is superb.

Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/navigate your notes. The notational-fzf-vim plugin[2] is superb for that.

For web-clipping, I just use the markdownload[3] extension in firefox and save the markdown file in the notes folder.

Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors.

Why not obsidian? Was never able to grok obsidian. In notable, I can tag a note as Books/CS, and CS/Books, and it'll show up in corresponding folder-like structures in the left panel.

Oh and the dev also did his own comparison table - you might like to compare it to yours!

I use https://notable.app/ for my notes, backup the notes / setup on a private github repo which I share with the Mac / Linux versions I use. Been working really well.
