I've recently started using https://jrnl.sh/ https://jrnl.sh/ and I'm hooked. It is on the command line, and easy to use. I've been using it more for daily journal entries, but it has a tagging system so you can do @idea and then search for all the entries with the tag @idea. I've been trying to organize my cooking recipes with tags. Also, it's encrypted on disk, so I just sync it to iCloud and a few backups. Maybe it's just me, but because it's a diary, I don't feel the need to delete things. If anything, not deleting it is the point. Even if it's a disorganized mess, I would suggest keeping things around! It's really fun to look at your old writings and notes!

I've insistently read these note-taking AskHN entries in pursuit of something akin to TaskWarrior[1] and TimeWarrior[2] but for notes/journaling, all command-line, portable, fault-tolerant and time-tested. At one point I thought about building one in Python, but it seems like jrnl devs were thinking alike and made it happen. @cbanek thanks for sharing this golden nugget as it will help me dump my disorganized brain somewhere for persistence and search-ability.
