GitHub - dustinkredmond/RustNote: Simple Rust command line application for creating/displaying text based notes

RustNote

RustNote is a simple command line application that helps you take and display notes.

How does it work?

RustNote takes at most one argument. Running RustNote with no arguments will display today's notes. Running RustNote with an argument will add a note to today's note file.

Example usage:

$> rnote
2022-10-01 08:00:00 - Make coffee
2022-10-01 08:15:08 - Grab another coffee
2022-10-01 08:19:10 - Write code

Running RustNote with an argument adds it to your list of notes.

$> rnote "Add note"
$> rnote
2022-10-01 08:00:00 - Make coffee
2022-10-01 08:15:08 - Grab another coffee
2022-10-01 08:19:10 - Write code
2022-10-01 08:20:42 - Add note

Where does RustNote store my note files?

Note files are stored in the user's home directory in a .notes subdirectory. Notes file names are formatted as such notes-<date>.txt.

You can pass the argument --path in order to determine where RustNote has chosen to store these files.

$> rnote --path
/home/my_user/.notes

What other features does RustNote implement?

None, really, the aim is to be a dead-simple, opinionated tool to help you take notes. Personally, I've found that if a tool is too cumbersome to use, you won't use it. RustNote hopes to help you commit to taking notes by making this process easy.
