noted VS octo

This is really cool. I am endlessly fascinated by the proliferation of "productivity apps" when I find the same thing as you: that they are quite unnecessary.

My approach is similar. I already take notes via a Bash script. I configure a particular "label" for any todos and (essentially) just grep for them, excluding those that are crossed out (with Markdown tildes). This approach works great for me as a Staff Engineer in a large tech company. Reference: https://github.com/scottashipp/noted/blob/main/subcommands.m...

I also wanted to mention there are several related ideas / movements around the web. One of the biggest is todotxt. In case you hadn't heard of it: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt

I have created my own note-taking tool after experimenting with all of the different note-taking apps for many years.

It's a shell script.

Speaking of which, the documentation has been improved, so take a peak at the README file.

I actually have set up both of the main text editors I use, IntelliJ IDEA and TextMate, with the same template that my Noted cli uses to produce time-stamped note entries.

What is that "n?" As I mentioned, I use a lightweight cli called Noted which is nothing more than a simple shell script. The alias for noted in my shell is n, to cut down on keystrokes.

It usually does in a new project, but I don't think it does for an existing project. Here's an example of what it would look like. https://github.com/writewithocto/octo/blob/v0.18.0/src/main.js#L13

A little late to the party, but I maintain https://octo.app. It's open source at https://github.com/writewithocto/octo too.

I'm the developer of octo.app. It's a progressive web app, so you can either install it to your local device (if supported) or just use it through the web browser. It works offline (even in the browser), and you can sign up (for free) with Google, Twitter, or GitHub to sync documents across devices.

I hope this article helped shed some light on the shell prompt syntax. It was a lot of fun to write while experimenting with my own prompt (which you can see at the top of this page). As a final note, I would love to share octo - a hackable, offline-first markdown editor for notes, code snippets, and writing that runs entirely in-browser. It's free and open source, and working on it gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration for the articles I write. Thank you, and happy coding. ✌️

I'm still working on Octo, a hackable, offline-first markdown editor for notes, code snippets, and writing that runs entirely in-browser. Currently using Vue, Vuex, VueRouter, CodeMirror, LocalForage, and MouseTrap. https://github.com/voraciousdev/octo
