Show HN: Organize and Compute in Writing via Sowhat Text Editor
Hello HN,
The demo here shows the companion editor [0] for the sowhat language [1].
The purpose of the editor is two things:
- Makes building and organizing a collection of writing easier. It does this by extracting different elements such as tags and folders from a collection of writing then presenting those elements via in-context autocomplete.
- Makes the collection of writing more useful by including notation elements such as events, beans [2] and formulas to support computing within the writing itself.
A while back I released sowhat, the language supporting Tap [3]. Sowhat and the companion editor are, together, a cornerstone of Tap. Tap is a system for collecting writing and other digital matter.
The editor here can be used in conjunction with sowhat to build your own tools. Or, it can provide a foundation to augment and enhance Tap.
My goal is to open source as much of Tap as possible because:
- It's fun to build with other people
- It should be as easy as possible for someone to customize their Tap experience. There's no way to accommodate all the UXs one might want within Tap. These tools are intended to enable a developer to create their own experiences.
- For those that use Tap but the then leave, a person's exported notes can maintain their original organization and meaning.
- Opens a path for others to provide feedback and enhancements to the open source tools and Tap itself.

/tap – Powerful and customizable note-taking system
I hear you. What guarantees about how it works do you have in mind?

Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers
I wrote a small Ruby TUI which works like this called Rodo (Ruby Todos). Pressing CTRL+t will get you a new Todo list (it's just markdown) at the top of a file.

A plain-text file format for todos and check lists
I am almost using this format for my markdown todo app written in Ruby:
https://github.com/coezbek/rodo
Differences:
I use unicode symbols such as ⌛ or for paused or priority items.
I use dash for obsolete/canceled items. I find this more in line with bullet journal which inspired the development of Rodo.
I do use markdown bullet lists.

Show HN: A plain-text file format for todos and check lists
Nice! I also have this pain of the file losing shape quickly. My take is to have a a CLI tool to "carry over" all todos which aren't solved into a new heading. This way the old/resolved items are moved to the back/lower in the file.
I call it Rodo (Todos in Ruby): https://github.com/coezbek/rodo
It uses Markdown for syntax.

Definitely true, but sometimes the lack of sane tooling makes it harder to follow rituals. I used to use the same format as the OP in a text editor, but struggled with the daily grind of copying items around and carrying over todos from the last day. Paper is much better for this, but messy (even with scanning).
In the end I wrote a small tool to assist with starting each day with a blank journal and all remaining items from the last day. Syntax is primarily markdown.

Note Taking in 2021
I have recently developed my own terminal-based UI for day journalling and todo/task tracking [1] in markdown files because I was sick of rearranging todos in other tools and just needed something which provides a standard template for each day (journal, high priority, todos of the day).
The main advantage is that you can "migrate" all unfinished todos to a new page/day and thus get a clean start each day. This idea comes from bullet journalling.
To get it done I had to dig a bit into ncurses, which turned out more interesting than I thought. For instance, Windows Terminal just gained support for bracketed paste a couple of months ago and my tool supports it.
Long term I would like to add generated views (for instance: last year this time one of your highlights was...) and support recurring tasks to be inserted into he daily log.
