scrapbooking-cli 1.1.0

Logging and journaling from the terminal

Scrapbook

• Scrapbook is a way to journal your goals, challenges, solutions and more, on a daily basis, which I guess is aimed to simplify tracking what you do everyday (kinda like note taking really)
• I wanted a simple way of logging what I do everyday on my terminal (without really installing/opening other note taking apps), hence the script.

Preface

This project is a work-in-progress and should be considered experimental. It is being actively developed and refined as I learn.

Current Status

• The project is incomplete and lacks many essential features.
• Some implementations may not be optimal or fully tested.
• Code quality and best practices may vary due to ongoing learning.

Functionality:

• Generates markdown doc of everyday notes.
• Simple structure.
• Easy way to filter through your notes everyday using unix tools.

Installation

Installing is as simple as:

pip install scrapbooking-cli

Invoke using sb:

Config-based approach

When scraps-cli is installed for the first time, scraps-cli searches for a config file in your current directory named scrapbook_config.yaml. If one is not found in your current directoy, a default config is used/created (if the default is not found either).

The default config uses the following structure and is created in the ~/.config/ directory:

headings:
  tasks: "Tasks"
  challenges: "Challenges"
  solutions: "Solutions"
  decisions_made: "Decisions Made"
  learnings: "Learnings"
  next_steps: "Next Steps"
  additional_notes: "Additional Notes"
  conclusion: "conclusion"

You are free to modify the headings according to what you see fit, add or remove etc.

The order of precedence is:

• Search in current directory for a config file. If found, use this.
• If config file not found in current directory, fallback to using the default config.
• If default config not found, create one.
