• Ask HN: Did anyone write a book in Nano?

  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 / 9 months ago

• What are some ways you used Python to make YOUR life easier?

  I have created full on programs to systematically created screenshots with the game emulators with RetroArch. Also an automation tool to use a preexisting program named chdman that converts files into a needed format (also unpacking from archives). A little Python script to create a recents list of files for Vimwiki. I also created a program to access 🌈 emojis 🌈. I wrote my own GE Proton downloader and manager.... Source: 12 months ago

• Lightweight and efficient CLI note taking app

  I use VimWiki inside of Neovim, with additional Plugins/configurations. Lightweight and let's you use the power of (Neo)Vim. Source: over 1 year ago

• Note-taking help. Zettelkasten method

  Well, Zettelkasten looks to me much like wiki. And standard wiki solution for vim is https://vimwiki.github.io/ and it should work quite well for you. Also, it is all plain text files so conversion should not be that difficult. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: System to capture personal notes on meetings and project progress

  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 / almost 2 years ago

• Can Git or any other VCS be used as a database instead of SQL/NoSQL ones? Have you ever seen such a thing?

  Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend. Source: 5 months ago

• Looking for notion/jira alternatives (self-hosted) (JavaScript free)

  Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control Https://github.com/gollum/gollum. Source: 5 months ago

• Atlassian prepares to abandon on-prem server products

  For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis. Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Hermes, an Open Source Document Management System

  That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software: https://github.com/gollum/gollum Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki. But the backend is just a git repository of markdown files so you can also just use your text editor and git pull/push. Usable by any novice but with the ideal power user interface. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Simple personal knowledgebase

  I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch. Source: over 1 year ago
