    Hello, Motivated by this discussion https://goo.gl/te4BFv, I have created a simple (free and open-source) command line note organizer. The tool, called npmnotes, take a folder with notes (written in markdown/texdown) and creates a webpage that lets you search and browse through the notes. You can then publish this webpage or use it locally. The result (built with npmnotes) looks something like this https://npmnotes.org. Currently, this is just a (working) prototype and I plan to add more features soon (based on the feedback I get). What do you think of it?

    I started this in January as a hook for Claude Code's plan mode: when it finished planning, instead of approving a wall of text in the terminal, the plan opens in your browser and you could mark it up like a document. Your annotations go back into the agent session. It grew from there. There's now PR-style code review (git, jj, p4, GitHub/GitLab PRs) and annotation for markdown, URLs, and folders. Agents produce a lot of HTML now, so Plannotator renders those artifacts and lets you annotate them too. Nine harnesses are supported: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini, OpenCode, Kiro,…

    Hey all! I created TalkNotes few weeks ago and it started getting traction in hours. It quickly went from 0 -> $700 revenue with One time payment and I decided to remove the one time payment, the line went straight down but since then it rising little by little and has now reached $150 MRR. I'm stoked since this is one of my best projects. The idea is to speak freely into a microphone about anything on your mind—meetings, emails, tasks—and let AI help organize it all. It turns your thoughts into a structured to-do list, notes, flashcards, and more. I created it because spending 15 minutes…

    Hello everybody! We (lukeflo and me) have made a little notes management tui written in bash based on fff by Dylan Araps, which we've improved a lot to make it a notes management tui. It uses your editor of choice to edit and create notes, you can fuzzy search your notes and search them by tags you give them by writing them in the markdown yaml or emacs org header. All in all it turned out to be a surprisingly good project that we now want to refine after just releasing v1.0, so any feedback, suggestions or criticism is very welcome!

    Hey folks, I just wanted to share a quick script I threw together called notational ls. One of the big problems of any code base (or any filesystem) is that it's hard to tell what's what - folder and file names often trade brevity for clarity. So I thought about a version of `ls` that works like this: > nls web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code images Adding descriptions is really easy too: > nls images Images SHARED between both ios and web web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code…
