I see this has rolled off the front page already but I just wanted to chime in and say this is pretty neat. I recently cobbled together almost the exact same thing in Python, the main differences in mine are: * the notes are filed into dirs by year and then month, so I don't need an archive command * the "todo" section serves as my backlog and is automatically carried over from one day to the next * I have a command to take all of last week's "done" items and email them to my manager The source code for mine is not public because it was lashed together out of duct tape and optimism.

Thanks, appreciate the kind words! Sounds like your take on this workflow has a couple of cool features, especially the year-based archives and the weekly "done" list with email. I considered archiving at the year level, but realized that the month level of granularity is likely what I actually want because a yearly file would be quite large. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts - have you found the yearly archive file to be cumbersome? I also love the idea of the weekly done list. My take for textnote is rather than build that functionality into the CLI, I prefer to augment it with scripts that take advantage of common commandline tooling and the plain text files. I might give your "email done list to my boss at the end of the week" workflow a try as a script on textnote files. I'll let you know how it works out. Good stuff, really appreciate your comments!
