I love the idea of this, but sadly, it only works when your work is in Plaintext. I'm an audio and graphing sort of guy, and although I try to be in Plaintext as much as I can, it's a constant battle.
One other loss is cross-device compatibility for things like calendaring. I totally get why text calendars are great, but I check my calendar from my phone or tablet enough that I couldn't rely on SSH. And losing calendar based alarms would be tough.
Mutt is great, though. And respect for sticking to an aesthetic :)
- luxpir 11y agoYep, that checks out :) Just a thought. Would sharing the files via Dropbox (shudder) or similar (rsync/syncthing) work on your devices? That would then rely on a local text editor to edit or just the built-in web-browser if you automated a regular :TOhtml export from vim. Suppose that starts to get a little cumbersome for some use cases. Admittedly I don't have to check my calendar that often. My to-do list, perhaps though.
- wanderfowl 11y agoI already do that, actually, via Dropbox (shudder). But plaintext based systems, particularly the symbol-heavy ones, suck terribly on virtual keyboards.
