• 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 / about 1 year 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: over 1 year 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: almost 2 years 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: about 2 years 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 / over 2 years ago

• Bootstrapping Zettelkasten

  I'm still a novice at Zettelkasten, but I use vimwiki and zim-zettel in Markdown mode for taking notes. Source: over 2 years ago

• What are GNU/linux tools or programs which can serve as alternative for notion?

  VimWiki is great, used for years after Org Mode with and without Evil but now I found plain vim is lighter and faster for me since ditching file extensions and going full wiki CamelCase. Source: over 2 years ago

• Write Plain Text Files

  > Every few years a new company says you should use their special format. You have to pay them a monthly fee to use it — or keep all of your documents in their care. [...] When you store your writing in one company’s unique format, then you need that program to access it. Then the economy takes a turn, they go out of business, and your work is trapped in an unusable format. This is something I've been dealing with... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Vim Galore: everything you need to know about Vim

  > If not pure coding projects, at least for things like markdown, having a preview could help. Everybody's needs are different, of course, but I personally find that Vimwiki [1] gives me all the preview I need, right in the editor, when editing Markdown.

• Neovim config

  There is no "best" neovim config for termix, if you are new to configuring neovim check this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPDVgSbOnt7LXQ8DTzu37UwCpA0elyD0V, I use neovim + termux mostly for my personal journal, not quite for development, if you are interested on writting personal notes I would suggest vimwiki and Goyo.

• Vim for text files

  Said that, the above solutions require time to learn and maintain your custom options, so forget them if you need something easier and with basically not much customisation needed as most common options and needs are already catered for and ready to use for journaling (well, you'll still need to add a single line to your vimrc to activate the plugin but that's it). I'm talking about vimwiki, start here... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Landing on the Moon - A trip to ergonomic keyboards

  To get more used to it I'd fire up vimwiki and just write prose for an hour or so at a time. This helped get me more comfortable with the layout and iron out any issues with the layout too! Source: about 3 years ago

• Documentation... Is it a mess for all of us?

  At work we use a self-hosted MediaWiki. Personally I use Vimwiki with vim-zettel and a few other plugins to manage a personal knowledge-base. An intro to Zettelkasten if you're curious about this method for taking notes. Pro-tip: both Vimwiki and Markdown (I write my notes in *.md) can be converted to MediaWiki syntax using Pandoc.

• Ask HN: Notion is withholding my company data, what can I do?

  If you want to roll your own self-hosted wiki: Vimwiki [1] on command line + Obsidian [2] on mobile works great! [1]: https://vimwiki.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Does you guys use vim for planning/todos/journals?
