So despite the great ideas and tales of pens & paper (and moleskin) here, I'd love to hear some thoughts on good digital solutions to the programming journal.
I use and am totally in love with Day One (iOS & OSX) for my personal journal:
http://dayoneapp.com http://dayoneapp.com
It could very easily be adapted into a programming journal (it supports images w/ each entry & monospace fonts, which are both great). Unfortunately, they don't yet support multiple journals, so that's out as an option for me on the programming side.
Any thoughts / suggestions on good apps that will fit the bill? I know about Evernote but would love something a bit more "journal-specific" and perhaps better suited to this task...
- gcr 14y agoBend org-mode to your will! http://orgmode.org/ http://orgmode.org/ I have a org-mode "capture" keybinding set up so I can just hit a key while programming and a small popup buffer asks me for some notes on what I'm thinking about. It can then add it to tomorrow's TODO list or perhaps a journal file/folder of my choosing. Best part: because it works with Emacs, it doesn't break my flow. I can just capture thoughts while coding and immediately get straight back to coding.
