I happily use a github repo for taking my 'programmer notes'. Advantages:
1. Goes well with my programming workflow: Change/Commit/Push
2. Allows me to use my preferred editor
3. No need to worry about backups: Git push and you're done
4. Accessible from anywhere, even if you don't have your computer
Is there anything that Quiver would offer that I wouldnt already have with a github repo?
- noir_lord 11y agoI do the same, bitbucket allows you to group repo's by project or team (or both) so I always create a default docs repo. For actual notes I just use org-mode since it can be read easily in nearly anything, supports all the bits I want and has nice html/pdf export if I need to send a todo/completed list out to anyone. What's nice is I can keep my own meta-docs project which just links to each repo for each set of projects so I can jump around different projects transparently as well.
- zwischenzug 11y agoI do the same with plain text. I find the low tech is very durable, if not such a snazzy experience.
- na85 11y agoPrivacy?
- EC1 11y agoNobody forces you to push to Github.com. Git is perfectly private.
- detaro 11y agoGP explicitly talks about a "github repo".
- cheez 11y agogit init --bare repo git clone repo clone cd clone <stuff> git add ... git commit ... git push
- scott_s 11y agoYes, you can use git locally without pushing anywhere, including GitHub. But, the original commenter explicitly mentioned GitHub, presumably because GitHub allows a similar kind of browsing experience of the notes that Quiver does. Specifically, GitHub has a markdown renderer.
- mbreese 11y agoPrivate repository?
- elliotec 11y agoYeah, I use markdown files in Dropbox with vim and some snazzy plugins. It's very effective for me.
- pault 11y agoWhat plugins? I use the same setup but with vanilla vim.
- elliotec 11y agoPlugin 'godlygeek/tabular' Plugin 'plasticboy/vim-markdown' Plugin 'suan/vim-instant-markdown' Plugin 'junegunn/goyo.vim' Plugin 'amix/vim-zenroom2' Plugin 'junegunn/limelight.vim' I also have quite a bit of prose-related stuff that I tend to conflate, but these are the main ones.
