obsidian-kindle-plugin VS todo.txt-cli

If you want to setup a zettelkasten type system for free, with minimal effort / requirement on any plugins (just "templater" will be helpful) I highly recommend https://reasonabledeviations.com/2022/04/18/molecular-notes-...

If you take kindle highlights when you read, the https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin plugin is awesome. I use the following template to create book review ("source") files

I use the Kindle Highlights plugin and love how it works. When I highlight, I can also write a note in my kindle as "[[sample_backlink]]" (without the quotes), and when I use the plugin to import the highlights from my book, Obsidian automatically registers the note it as a backlink.

It's open source, so you can see if it does anything nefarious (or, if you're not a programmer, trust that others have checked this already). https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin

Shameless plug for this /r/ObsidianMD Kindle highlights plugin. I have used it for leisure reading and professional/school textbooks with great success.

use this

Fast-forward to now, and I simply take notes in Notepad/Notepad++ and save them with .MD extensions, and it's completely effortless for me to search them later and see how previous notes relate to my current notes. This, coupled with plugins like https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin allows me to read my class books on Kindle (my wife and I share ~400-ish books, which we've got highlights and notes on for ~100) really help.

There are extensions like obsidian-kindle-plugin which can sync Kindle highlights to Obsidian & Obsidian has mobile apps which can use their paid sync or you can use free sync mechanisms(e.g. local network).

FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

http://todotxt.org/

And of course pretty much all of *nix.

Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
