note.nvim VS nvim-navic

I write a hierarchical structured task list (very similar to op) with a neovim plugin I wrote (https://github.com/gsuuon/note.nvim). Sometimes I'll write these items as commit messages, make the changes and check them off as I commit. I mark the current task so that if I get interrupted I can recontextualize fairly quickly.

I use my neovim plugin note.nvim[1] to brainstorm and plan features as well as track day-to-day stuff. It's one of the few projects of mine that I've spent more time using than building - by a good amount.

I have a top level ~/notes/projects/foo. When the project is small I just keep everything in a single file. Each feature gets its own item hierarchy and I use folds to manage which 'scope' I'm seeing. After I decide on what (not) to work on, I can mark that node as "won't do" or "pending". When I pick up a task for the day I can deep-link to where I initially brainstormed the feature.

I think if you've spent more than 2 full weeks trying to figure out an effective note-taking system, it's time to just design and build out your own. Nothing will ever be more perfect for you than the one you build for yourself. Mine's at https://github.com/gsuuon/note.nvim

I just wanted easy daily task tracking and timestamped notes at first, now I slowly add things to it. I can deep-link to items or sections in other files (even at different commits) and have helpers that effectively exposes an API for my tasks. Everything else is just standard neovim things, like using Telescope for finding labeled items.

This can be done using a statusline plugin like nvim-navic

Zero-depency, yes, this is not another extension of navic. It does not even depends on nvim-treesitter or nvim-lspconfig, nor do you need to register an 'on_attach' function. as long as treesitter parsers or language servers are intalled correctly, the winbar should start working out of the box

nvim-navic. This option is particularly nice because it also enables using nvim-navbuddy which I have found incredibly useful for navigating large files.

Kudos for writing your first plugin! However, that's a rather poor name choice. There's already a neovim plugin called navi (https://github.com/mattiasbonte/navi.nvim), as well as an old unmaintained vim one (https://github.com/alexvoss/navi), not to mention slight variations like https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-navic or https://github.com/taohexxx/navim (the latter again looking unmaintained, but the former being relatively popular).

Just like this? If yes, you can try lspsaga.nvim, nvim-navic, or barbecue.nvim.

I also use ]m, but it’s not a very good way to choose and move to functions quickly and with intention. Options include aerial.nvim, symbols-outline.nvim, and the new nvim-navbuddy, from the developer who made nvim-navic.

Paired with my other plugin nvim-navic this completes the breadcrumbs experience that you would typically find in an IDEs like VScode. I hope you all like it :)

I use global status line (3) and winbar. I use Nvim-navic so that the winbar shows me my current file name highlighted also shows the path and the context.

I was trying to activate some optional plugin and found out that it couldn't be enabled using the mentioned config. I checked the github repository and saw that, for example, `SmiteshP/nvim-navic` is not present there. (link to core plugins list in repo).
