Hello HN!
After years of activity in the main threads I am jumping in with an note taking application I wrote over the last few days.
Why another note taking application? Because the ones I tried are really great but lack the simplicity I need. I finally decided to write one to get rid of the zillions of paper scraps with cryptic things like "7654" or "go to JK to get RF". What I needed:
- create a note directly from the command line: `<Win Key>note q my first /oh a title/ note #france<Enter>`
- quickly edit a note via its serial number or title: `note e todo`
- use my favourite editor which is much better than the one I could write
- shorten my suffering when choosing a title for a one shot note - just press enter and a readable date will be used
- tags!
- search, delete
I have many more ideas (they are in the README) and hope that this 1.0 version will be useful to someone.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback - I am an amateur developer so the code is far from nice but I tried to keep it clean and with a minimal amount of excellent ideas that later become hieroglyphic studies to understand what I meant then.
Thanks!
