• 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

• Show HN: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates

  I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck: Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc? (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template). - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

• Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software

  You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :) [1] https://zim-wiki.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• The rise and fall of the standard user interface

  Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment. https://github.com/SebastianMuskalla/ModelessVim. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Writing HTML in HTML

  It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!) It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" --... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
