Terminal Notes

Searchable notes in your terminal! What’s not to like?

Install

❯ gem install terminal-notes

On first run, you will be asked to confirm the destination of your install. It defaults to ~/.notesrc/.

The main configuration file is located at ~/.notesrc/config. It’s a YAML file.

All your notes are saved in ~/.notesrc/db as text files.

Additionally, I like to symlink the binary to my ~/bin folder for ease of access. You can do that with:

❯ ln -sn $(which terminal-notes) ~/bin/notes

Make sure you have your ~/bin in your PATH for this to work.

❯ terminal-notes

TODO: Write this section

You can find the documentation here

Here is my planned roadmap:

(Last updated Aug 26th, 2020)

[ ] Draw a shortcuts info bar like nano has
[ ] Draw a title bar at the top
[ ] Implement .notesrc and database
[ ] Create an install flow (as described in the README)
[ ] Implement responsive layout
[ ] Implement a better file matcher
[ ] Create a non fancy mode which works better in smaller terminal screens
[ ] Update status line to display:
- Matcher
[ ] Abstract out UI work to Layout module that is stateful and tracks x,y widget positions

Future: - Implement file previews with tty-markdown when in full screen mode
