Note down your ideas and get them to the right place, without switching away from your terminal

Project description

ideaseed

Do you have ideas suddenly and just wished you could catch them as fast as possible, as to not loose them, without having to interrupt what you were doing?

As I guy without a lot of more or less stupid ideas, I use Google Keep as a centralized place to put all of my thoughts that I deem worthy of consideration.

I recently started to use GitHub Projects for coding project ideas as a single project called "incubator" on my GitHub profile directly, and as issues or notes when the idea is related to an already-existing project and repo.

But when I don't get to decide when this idea comes, and I often need to interrupt what am I doing to open github, get to the right page, input my idea and get back. And I find it frustrating.

Enough rambling. Here's what you came for.

    • On your profile?
    • If not:
      • Which repo? (using REPO or OWNER/REPO) (autocompletes with repositories you contribute to)

    • Which color? (defaults to white)
