git-notes VS nb

Project 2: A golang app. 55 stars.

My working memory file is just a giant txt file that is synced using git to github. It's free and fast (because a text file editor like Sublime is fast).

I used Dropbox Paper and Google Docs before. Once you reach certain size, it is very very slow.

The caveat with the text file is the lack of fuzzy searching capability... but it's tolerable so far.

PS. I've built my own git sync: https://github.com/tanin47/git-notes -- it is written in Go. I've chosen Go because it can be deployed on windows, linux, and mac. Could have gone with Rust, but I don't really need speed here, so I don't need to manage my own memory.

Time for me to shine!

I use 2 giant plain-text files.

One for notes. The other for to-dos.

I use git to sync to a private git repo using my own app https://github.com/tanin47/git-notes (work with Mac, windows, Linux)

My priority is that I want my notes to live forever. Using GitHub seems to achieve that purpose. (I use many notes app before which I threw away when moving to a new app)

Shameless plug. I wrote a go app that keeps syncing your notes to GitHub/gitlab.

I simply maintain a giant plain text note. Sometimes I hope there is a better way to search, but it's decent enough.

It runs on Mac, windows, and Ubuntu

A few tools I've come across that I've used.

Doing [1] by Brett Terspstra; "A command line tool for keeping track of what you’re doing and tracking what you’ve done."

NA [2] (Next Action) also by Brett Terpstra; "A command line tool for adding and listing per-project todos."

nb [3] is "a command line and local web note‑taking, bookmarking, archiving, and knowledge base application"

nb supports multiple notebooks, Git-based version control and a bunch of other things

I use [nb](https://github.com/xwmx/nb). It's a CLI tool (easy to write a GUI for if you want one) that is fast, uses Git to version control things, and handles more than just bookmarks. I sync across computers using Dropbox.

Depending on how minimal you want to go, nb is viable, but any “features” you’d have to script yourself. https://xwmx.github.io/nb/

I found xwmx's `nb` which I quite like for its git remote integration and tools, but I find it somewhat clunky to interact with. On top of this, I am relatively inexperienced with vim, would like to keep my config very simple, and have no idea how to integrate `nb` with vim directly.

It depends on your needs, but give nb a try: * https://xwmx.github.io/nb/
