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.

A todotxt and remind - all in 1 tool with little bit more features?!
It depends on your needs, but give nb a try: * https://xwmx.github.io/nb/

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.

Show HN: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates
I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck:
Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc?
(This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template)

Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software
You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :)

Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool
https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/
And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well).

The rise and fall of the standard user interface
Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment.

Writing HTML in HTML
It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!)
It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" -- which, frankly, are still way clunkier than this.
Write in Zim, export to html, rsync to site. Easy.

The complex simplicity of my static websites
FWIW, I've been using http://zim-wiki.org for YEARS. (Sites a little messy and I need to clean it up, but it's extremely functional,) I host my college classes websites from it, to the point that I forced myself to learn the Canvas API, to just clone the page from this site to the front page of Canvas and change the links so they come back here.

Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
No discussion of note taking apps is complete without Zim Desktop Wiki [1], so let me be the one who sings its praise! It's less web or mobile oriented than Joplin but gives me everything I need. Plain text files, syncing, lots of plugins. And task management, oh boy. Task management is second to none, including orgmode. I'm a faithful user for years now and I am still happy I found it.
What are some alternatives?
obsidian-mind-map - An Obsidian plugin for displaying markdown notes as mind maps using Markmap.
vimwiki - Personal Wiki for Vim
Joplin - Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
logseq - A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
GitJournal - Mobile first Note Taking integrated with Git
obsidian-dataview - A data index and query language over Markdown files, for https://obsidian.md/.
Trilium Notes - Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes
vscode-memo - Markdown knowledge base with bidirectional [[link]]s built on top of VSCode [Moved to: https://github.com/svsool/memo]
remarkable-hacks - additional functionality via binary patching
zk-nvim - Neovim extension for zk
