As an experienced developer, I already use too many productivity/development tools and I was reluctant to try another tool. I was happy with taking notes in my good old paper diary. But the simplicity of Developer Diary attracted me.
Feature-wise, it did what it promised without any distraction or clutter. I could take notes, reflect back and make better decisions with insights such as maker vs manager mode, deep work intervals, etc. The quick global shortcut (Cmd+Shift+I) to bring the focus on diary is so underrated, it wouldn't have used it so consistently without it. It solved the common problem I had with other productivity tools - I start to use them with great motivation but leave them in between because they feel like a chore after a while. But the shortcut and autostart feature made sure that not only I dump my thoughts in the diary but also reflect back on them regularly without any annoying notifications. That's what made me stick around for the first two week and then it became an effortless habit.
The overall impact of using the Developer Diary is enlightening. I am less anxiety now, I have more clarity in my thoughts, and I get more time for deep work. Being able to follow my coding plans more consistently with less distractions helped me solve hard coding problems.

I wrote a manuscript in vim a couple Novembers ago, for NaNoWrimo. I used a couple plugins, primarily Goyo [1] to add some margins, but otherwise, yeah, plain vim. I don't think it was really any more productive than my current workflow in Obsidian. Vim keybindings are more useful for editing than for writing (and for editing code in particular, where the changes you're making are much more structured). Also,... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Also an automation tool to use a preexisting program named chdman that converts files into a needed format (also unpacking from archives).

I end up taking linear notes in a text file, with un-resolved or in-progress items at the bottom. They get pushed downward linearly until they are finished, at which point they get immortalized in the greppable daily log above. Requires a lot of discipline and doesn't have a lot of structure, but having the "working area" next to the journal has served me well. I use vimwiki[1] for most of the editing, in addition... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
