## What is this? ##
With pen you can have notes everywhere. At least on every unix machine. What makes it special is that it is ‘only’ command line application. You can therefore even run it on a server. Pen has a minimalistic interface and notes can be added and grouped in a simple manner.
## Installation
It’s as simple as that:
$ pip install penpal
Unfortunately pen was already taken.
## Usage
pen all - List all notes recursively.
pen create <list> - Create a list.
pen delete <list> (<note>) - Delete a list or note.
pen help - Displays pen help
pen help <command> - Displays help for a command.
## Advanced
pen stores all its data (with zlib compression) in the file ~/.pen. You are free to do whatever you want with the data in that file, its yours after all.
You can also change the path of the storage file:
pen path <new_path> - Either prints the current storage path or sets a new one.
So go out there and hack some code!
## Features ##
Minimalistic and simple note editor.
Automatic saving when closed.
Create lists to group notes.
Put the storage file wherever you want. (Supports Dropbox & co)
