VimWiki: I write my notes in the terminal, like a monster
VimWiki: I write my notes in the terminal, like a monster
VimWiki is my preferred notetaking solution because it's intentionally minimal. When I want to take notes, I want to take notes, not see a mind map or extra visualizations or photos to distract me....
I've started doing notes in the terminal as well. I used Obsidian and Logseq for a while, mainly because I wanted something with a GUI so that I could recommend it to people who aren't comfortable with the terminal. But eventually I figured that a terminal solution was the right one for me, since I have a terminal open all the time anyway.
I switched from vim to kakoune a while ago ( https://kakoune.org/ ), so I use nb ( https://xwmx.github.io/nb ) instead of vimwiki.
nb is a terminal application that will open whatever your default text editor is.
I've been using vimwiki for a while. My most recent change was to switch it over to md format, and setting it up share data with Obsidian. Most of the note taking still happens in the terminal, but digging through it typically happens in the Obsidian UI.
So far it's working pretty smoothly.
