Top 13 plain-text Open-Source Projects

  • vscode-org-mode

    Emacs Org Mode for Visual Studio Code

    • Project mention: Emacs 2011-2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-14

    LOL. I use Emacs for note-taking, spreadsheets, calculations, to-do lists, calendaring, email, static site generation and more. Please show me VS Code extensions that have feature sets comparable to those of Emacs packages like Org, mu4e, calc, etc. Here, I'll save you some time by eliminating a couple options:

    - VS Code Org Mode[1] has maybe 2% of the features of Org for Emacs.

    - The only VS Code-based mail client I've ever found is VSCode Mail Client[1], which was developed during a single month and then abandoned.

    VS Code is clearly for normies who use WYSIWYG word processors, webmail, etc. Suggesting that VS Code has surpassed Emacs for non-coding activities is laughable.

  • node-html-to-text

    Advanced html to text converter

    • Project mention: Creating excerpts in Astro | dev.to | 2024-03-14

    At first I thought I wasn’t configuring the options correctly, but after reading the documentation and this issue, I realised it was more likely a source issue.

  • SurveyJS

  • notational-fzf-vim

    Notational velocity for vim.

    • Project mention: Looking for guidance on simplifying my note-taking setup into the terminal | /r/commandline | 2023-04-26

    notational-fzf-vim is similar to shell-velocity and also looks pretty good, but is now unmaintained and I do not have the knowledge to maintain it myself should something break. Has the same lack of automatic git syncing.

  • xit

    A plain-text file format for todos and check lists

    • Project mention: My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-19

    I use the same system but with highlighting/formatting of https://xit.jotaen.net

    I even learn how to create a plugin for the IntelliJ IDEA and created one for highlighting this format (love idea hotkeys and workflow).

  • markdown-mode

    Emacs Markdown Mode

    • Project mention: Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15

    My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

    I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

  • deft

    Deft for Emacs

  • klog

    Command line tool for time tracking in a human-readable, plain-text file format. (by jotaen)

    • Project mention: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12

    I came up with a file format for time-tracking, which lets me store the data in plain-text files in a human-friendly notation. I also built a corresponding CLI tool for evaluating the files on the terminal.

    I’ve been using it almost daily for the past couple of years, and so far it has served me quite well.
