The description isn't that obvious for people that don't know what notational velocity is or how it works.
- OJFord 7y agoBut to be fair, the first thing the readme says is a paraphrasing of the blurb at, and a link to, the notational velocity homepage.
- tjoff 7y agoYes and I started reading that and went to nvAlt which was also mentioned. But it was frustrating to spend that much effort before even knowing what it was with some detail. And the gif, which I usually like, suffers the same problem. Hard to follow unless you already know what it is. In the end I decided it wasn't for me, tons of small files, each per note? Didn't seem that compelling to me, I think I would prefer one or a few larger files maybe something like vim-wiki. But because I couldn't quickly research it feel I might have misunderstood it.

- throwaway-hn123 7y agoAwww, all that effort. You poor thing, go and have a rest and build up your strength, darling.
- fourier_mode 7y agoThanks for pointing that out. I thought it is just some name OP chose. It is just a note-taking app for Mac.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notational_Velocity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notational_Velocity)
- ubermonkey 7y agoThat buries the lede a little. NV has become popular because of its speed. Your notes are instantly searchable in the top bar of NV. You just type in what you're looking for, and the list of note files -- and they're all just text files -- limits itself to files that contain your search string, and it happens basically as fast as you can type. It's pretty great. I used it heavily until I started using OrgMode a couple years ago, but missed it enough that I sought out an emacs mode (Deft) that is a workalike.
- simplify 7y agoNot just. It's the best one!
- masukomi 7y agoNah NVAlt is the best ;)
- anon184079 7y agoI changed it a bit.
