The power of keeping a coding journal (2014)
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

Ask HN: What's a good, privacy focused bookmark manager?
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.

Any alternatives to Obsidian that are not built on Electron?
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/

Looking for guidance on simplifying my note-taking setup into the terminal
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.

I’m looking for a terminal based organisation/note taking tool
There is a pretty interesting looking CLI notes manager called nb which could be interesting. It'll handle notes in whatever syntax, so starting with plain text and editing with Neovim (or even nano) could be a fairly easy way to start building a notes repository.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I use the same system but with highlighting/formatting of https://xit.jotaen.net
I even learn how to create a plugin for the IntelliJ IDEA and created one for highlighting this format (love idea hotkeys and workflow).

Show HN: Tuido, a Terminal Todo List
This is my personal todo app, which I made a while back after the original https://xit.jotaen.net/ post. tuido is written in go, with the bubbletea tui framework.
My daily workflow involves creating YYYY-MM-DD.md and taking notes, many of which are effectively low-level todos that fall below the threshold for more public or involved issue trackers. Problem was that these half-hazard todos weren't tracked at all.
After seeing the [x]it spec, it seemed clear that a little tooling could fix this. I've been reasonably happy with it.

A plain-text file format for todos and check lists
For reference, this is the discussion around subitems / nesting: https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/2
As mentioned in that ticket, I’m still reluctant to add this to the [x]it! file specification. On the one hand it seems like an obvious and useful feature, but on the other hand it’s unfortunately pretty difficult to implement in tooling. For example, I tried to add experimental support for nested subitems in the Sublime Text plugin, but I eventually had to give up, just because the syntax highlighting engine is so limited in regards to recursion. It’s the same – or much worse – for other editors.
At the end of the day, I feel that it doesn’t help to add such a feature to the file format, if tools then cannot deal with it properly. Right now, the spec is so simple that it can be implemented in maybe a day or so. I see a great deal of value in keeping the hurdle for tool creators small. So it’s a pretty tricky balancing act.
I’ve never used TaskPaper, but the capabilities of the data format look somewhat similar.
I think the difference is primarily a philosophical one: [x]it! is a file format with a formal specification that’s open source.[1] There is no “canonical” tool for it, the idea is rather that tools can be created separately. That should give users the freedom to work with their data independent of specific tools.
[1] https://github.com/jotaen/xit/blob/main/Specification.md
Per specification, [x]it! files must be UTF-8 encoded. (See https://github.com/jotaen/xit/blob/main/Specification.md#fil...)
There currently are a bunch of editor plugins and one CLI tool. You find a collection of tools (all third-party) linked from the project website: https://xit.jotaen.net
