  • jot

    A simple command-line tool to jot notes (by mkaz)

  • It's a fun low risk space to try out a language. I just started rewriting an old one I had now in Rust. Many similar ideas and planned features, currently mine just accepts notes from command-line, piped in, or uses the editor.

  • org-journal

    A simple org-mode based journaling mode

  • I'm interested in using org-journal, a minor mode for Emacs org-mode, which supports collapsing. https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal

  • fsnotes

    Notes manager for macOS/iOS

  • nvUltra is still in beta. nvALT still works (Big Sur too) but hasn't been actively maintained.

    I've been experimenting with FSnotes[0] lately and find it be be the closest an app has come to the simplicity of nvALT

  • zeke

    Zeke is a CLI for managing a knowledge base built on a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

  • I've written a (somewhat) similar CLI in rust: https://github.com/nwj/zeke/

    These threads are great for collecting a bunch of different implementations and looking at the various design decisions people have made. There's really a surprising amount of variety out there.

  • Taskboard

    Tasks, boards, notes & code snippets for the command-line environment (by justmert)

  • I have done too with a nice command line interface in Python https://github.com/justmert/Taskboard

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • awesome-reMarkable

    A curated list of projects related to the reMarkable tablet

  • I'm not sure what you mean by

    > the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail.

    The ReMarkable is comparatively very hackable and open, see for example https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable/. It doesn't have a backlight though, that's true.

  • > Oops, just checked, mine has a backlight, and the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail.

    Are you certain about this? I was told that remarkable is open source. But I have not verified this myself. But I see tools like https://github.com/torwag/remarkableflash which suggest it is possible to recompile what software remarkable has published and then flash it on to the system. Please double check either way.
