My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I've been doing something similar for ~20 years at: https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- Running `notes` will open this month's notes for YYYY_MM.txt
-
What is your approach to quick note taking during development?
I use a very command line focused approach with https://github.com/nickjj/notes.

Keep a Knowledge Log
Since about 2001 I used YYYY-MM.txt plain text files and have a shell script to help create notes in the most friendly way I could think of from the command line at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
Totally works fine for a knowledge log when you're streaming high level details. I still use it today.
But when you want to really go all-in with in-depth notes it's tricky because in 1 month's time if you're hardcore deep in the woods of learning, applying and using something you're going to end up with hundreds of concepts from an assorted set of tools and it kind of stinks to have all of that info sitting in 1 file. Think about using something like Kubernetes. That's really Kubernetes, Kustomize / Helm, EKS, various cloud hosting details (networking, etc.), Terraform and ton of super useful commands / context. Details you for sure want recorded for later.
For this type of info I've been building up a knowledge base with https://obsidian.md/. It's really nice and I highly recommend it. It's been working well for keeping things reasonably categorized without wasting a lot of time on the details around keeping links and tags up to date. It also has Vim mode that's good enough where day to day writing feels natural.

Show HN: Then – Understand how you spend your time and what influences your mood
Did you end up automating the entries?
For example, I have a command line note taking script at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
It creates a YYYY-MM-DD.txt file and doesn't include time stamps but it would be a 1 line change to make each entry get timestamped. I didn't do that because personally I'm more interested in monthly notes not per minute.
But I do think removing the barrier of creating entries is an important step with jotting things down, this way you can focus on what you want to write and not the boilerplate.
-
Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
A whole bunch of little things, mainly command line tools.
Most of them are open source and also have extensive documentation and a screencast video going over them.
In no specific order:
- https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- https://github.com/nickjj/invoice
- https://github.com/nickjj/wait-until
And a few recent little scripts to solve specific things:

Show HN: Note, my simple command line note taking app
Along similar lines, nickjj also has a similar (but bash) notes script at:
https://github.com/nickjj/notes
-
Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
While I don't use it personally there's: https://obsidian.md/
It's cross platform and works offline. You write markdown and it produces a visual graph of your data. It supports interlinking notes, tags and images too.
Plain text notes[0] work best for me but I'd probably use Obsidian if I wanted to see things visually. When I tried it out briefly it was really solid.

Terminal workflow with GUI Neovim
Using https://github.com/voldikss/vim-floaterm and remap the same shortcuts to (un)toggle the terminal would be interesting for you, also about compatibility, because if tomorrow you use nvim in the terminal you have the same key maps.
-
Terminal filemanager that works good with neovim
vim-floaterm has wrappers around some terminal filemanagers.
-
Tools for productivity
If you don't like distro's and want to use something of your own, make sure that you have a few plugins like telescope.nvim, lazy.nvim, toggleterm.nvim Or vim-floaterm, gitsigns.nvim, which-key.nvim, which will make your neovim journey smooth. Again these are just few, but I highly recommend it.
-
Managing your files. How do you do it?
My personal favorite is ranger, a multi-panel console file manager that works nicely in a Neovim terminal. I also use floaterm to get floating terminal windows for ranger and lazygit, but that's optional. A Neovim tab with a terminal would work equally well.
-
Git CLI tools and vim
For simple tasks like opening a dirty file in nvim I prefer vim-floaterm. It has a really nice integration with a bunch of TUI tools.
- Neovim - Workflow para Java, C# e JS/TypeScript (Atualização com Neovim 0.8 e LSP)
- Plugin suggestion
-
I appreciate the excellent FTerm.nvim plugin
The two obvious candidates are vim-floaterm and toggleterm.nvim.
-
vim as a python IDE?
I’d suggest taking a look at vim-floaterm. While I don’t use this feature, it should have the ability to do what you’ve described
-
