I've been working on a very similar app - also based on Sönke's book. Currently everything happens in the terminal but I wanted to start on a GUI app soon. I understand that you don't intend to open source your work, but thanks for the writeup. I like the idea of going over rows and columns, I'll probably shamelessly copy that (my current version uses a tree for display, much like Reddit or Hacker news comments, but that becomes difficult to parse after some time.
- ichverstehe 5y agoPlease do copy! I have experimented with tree based interfaces as well, and have also found that they become unmanageable. The row/column approach works well, but eventually breaks down when working with dozens of notes at the same time. I am trying to figure out a way to efficiently group notes[1], but have hit a bit of a wall. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with :) [1] E.g. my attempt to have multiple workspaces, while neat in theory, wasn’t great to work with in practice: https://twitter.com/ichverstehe/status/1347896632424198144 https://twitter.com/ichverstehe/status/1347896632424198144 - having everything at the same level works better. My next attempt might be some sort of grouped tiles with autoscaling.
