ghostwriter VS diaryman

I would love a simple, but tailored, frontend to Fountain. Right now I use Ghostwriter as my editor, though it's geared more towards markdown.

Source? The github seems up to date and the last release came out September.

Ghostwriter and Marktext are good options.

That goes beyond what I am able to help with. Could check with the developers on Github https://github.com/wereturtle/ghostwriter/issues

- more features for the more mature Ghostwriter.

In any case good to see more choices in this space, cross-platform Markdown word processors with Pandoc support were a rare occurrences a couple of years ago!

Take a look at Ghostwriter: https://github.com/wereturtle/ghostwriter

Is there any way I can identify and somehow fix the problem? Unfortunately the Ghostwriter community seems to be a too little niche (see my post on GitHub).

I've had another look into this, just out of curiosity. In the changelog there seem to have been some updates to themes. I found a more recent theme which now seems to be a .json rather than .cfg. It could very well be that you/they have to port dracula over to this format. (Note: I haven't had time to try the json one)

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.

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.

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.

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.

> 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.

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.

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.
