* Stitch - Note Composer
Stitch is a minimal grep-based CLI tool for composing notes. It is
built around the idea of writing notes separately and then using tags
to compose these notes together.
Stitch does not have any opinion about which file format you use for
file capturing, use org, markdown, whatever you want. You can
customize the grep command.
Stitch limits itself only to note composing. For capturing notes, you
will have to set up your own system.
** AIMS
- Single binary
- Minimal
- Work with any file format
** CREDIT
Stitch is based and largely a stripped down copy of the note composing
system of Howm for Emacs.
** INSTALLATION
Chmod +x the binary and put in PATH.
Set the environment variables:
STICH_DIRECTORY
STICH_GREP_CMD (default "grep")
STITCH_HEADLINE_PATTERN (default "^\\* ")
STITCH_TAG_PATTERN (default ":[a-z-]+:", matches :a-tag:)
** SPEED UP
Stitch uses grep by default. As your notes grow, this will
become rather slow. To speed it up, you can replace it grep with ugrep.
** DEVELOPMENT
To set up the project, easiest way is to just install Nix, direnv and
enable nix flakes. Then to compile:
dune build
And to run:
dune exec -- stitch
** RECIPES
- Building a journaling system
You can build a basic capture command using $EDITOR and date command:
alias capture="JRNL=\"$STITCH_DIRECTORY/$(date +'%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M').org\" echo '* :journal:' > $JRNL_FILE && $EDITOR $JRNL"
and then you can find your journal entries, automatically sorted by
creation date with stitch and the journal tag:
alias jrnl="stitch -t journal"
* KNOWN ISSUES
- Resizing the screen when editor is open causes panic
