From time to time I try these fancy journaling apps. A few weeks later I have to go through the hassle of converting the data to my good old plain text file journaling format.
- cloverich 8y agoThere are some journaling apps that target this mindset. This one[1] was posted a few days ago (in comments) and stores your notes as markdown in plain text. There are others (I am working on one as well, but its not ready). If the app forced a particular naming convention (e.g. 2018-05-10.md) would that be too restrictive?

- unicornporn 8y agoNo. Not really. http://jrnl.sh/ http://jrnl.sh/ looks good too if you're starting from scratch.
- baleb 8y agoIf you're looking for something simple like jrnl but as a desktop app with a GUI, you might be interested in Mini Diary which I just launched: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18934610 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18934610. It also allows you to import your jrnl data and export your entries in a variety of formats.
- davidandgoliath 8y agoThanks for the heads up on this one! Looks great.
- noir_lord 8y agovscode-journal and vscode-journal-view (gives you a calendar view in the side bar) do what I need and are offline. I have vscode open anyway so path of least resistance applies.
