not's Introduction

not

If anyone is interested in the halfway point between Geeknote & a random collection of .txt files in $HOME, meet me in the middle with 'not (note w/o the [e]vernote)', a low-friction, dumb as rocks, evernote based notekeeping thing.

rationale

i need to take notes on a daily basis, but i hate all note taking software

i just want to scratch down some crap in vi and save it somewhere safe and synced

Geeknote is cool (and largely inspired not), but it's super feature rich and requires extra brain workyness that I don't often have.

not and I'm done

install

for regular pip install:

pip install not

if you are cool, use pex!

pex not -c not -o ~/bin/not && pex not -c not-setup -o ~/bin/not-setup

then run the setup script:

not-setup

usage

not -- creates or updates a note using your favorite editor, stored in default notebook, named after today's date

not some_title same thing, but instead of todays date it's whatever custom title you wrote

piping via stdin also works for ultimate lazyness:

echo 'wow I am so lazy' | not

to add tags, simply add a line to your note that starts with "tags:" and then a comma separated list for example: tags: these,are,tags

don't remember the last couple notes you edited? just run

not ls

it will return a list of the last 10ish edited notes

all notes are plaintext
no notebook customization, just the default notebook
line breaks and html aren't handled that well, sorry
open to pull requests as long as the philosophy remains unchanged

not's Issues

prompt for title instead of dates?

maybe? default to date?

Markdown support?

This project is unreasonably awesome.

I write tons of my tons in markdown and I'm wondering if you're open for adding (or accepting a PR) for something like that. I'm thinking more along the lines of adding a file extension to the temp file so I get syntax highlighting, not along the lines of compiling to/from HTML so the Evernote interface displays it correctly (although, that would be awesome, it sounds hard).

Thoughts?

ability to update by piping to not

echo "append this line to todays note" | not

echo "append or create note with custom title | not custom_title

would be cool.

tags are broken

but it's 2:30am so i'm opening an issue for myself 💤

Tagging

Tagging would be nice so that it's easy to separate out work life from grocery life from project life, right? Or is this going down the path of too complicated and not dumb as rocks simple?

check for size constraints before sending off to evernote

"evernote.edam.limits.constants.EDAM_NOTE_CONTENT_LEN_MAX"

mostly to mitigate failures from piping something too big

No such file or directory: '/Users/julian/.not_token'

Hi,

I kept getting this error below after running not-setup. However, after manually creating an empty file at '/Users/julian/.not_token' the error disappeared. Just thought i'd give you a heads up. Thank you!

➜ ~ not-setup

maybe use notebooks even tho i'm a hater

Add flags to make notes public (or private)

It'd be cool if there was a --public flag so that the created note is automatically shared publicly, and the share-able URL is printed to stdout.

--public would make a note public if it wasn't already public, and it can be made private again by calling not --private.

I think we'd use shareNote and stopSharing.

makes `ls` results selectable

like:

osx ~/src/not git:master ❯❯❯ not ls
