private_comments VS hammerspoon

I wrote Private Comments[1] specifically to address this problem in code. My coworkers can maintain context about how a given thing works months after the fact. I can't. So, I leave private comments throughout the code. Things they'd never want committed, but save me hours of re-leaning when next i encounter a given piece of code.

Currently has plugins for Vim (proof of concept) and Emacs (actually good). It'd be lovely if one of you folks would make a VSCode plugin for it. I've thoroughly documented the API and diagrammed the code flow you'd need[2], so that this would be as easy as possible to add to your favorite editor.

A while ago I wrote a mini API server in order to let me leave "private comments" on a codebase.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.
