Speaking of jrnl, did I mention that I’m testing jrnl as my daily logging tool?Since I’m sticking to CLI-based tools for the month, I needed a replacement for my Emacs “Daybook”. My Daybook relies on all sorts of capture templates and snippets in Emacs. Since that’s out, I figured I might try the One Big Text File (OBTF) approach.By default, jrnl writes entries to one big text file, so it seemed suitable for this purpose.It’s only been a day or two, but I kind of dig using jrnl for the kinds of quick logging I normally do in Emacs. It automatically adds timestamped headings, handles @tags, uses human readable date entry (e.g. “last wednesday”), allows searching by tags or date range or content, and exports nicely to various other formats.I might also include the entries I usually put into org-journal. I can’t imagine jrnl taking org-journal’s spot, but it’s worth trying. I’ll tag those entries as @journal and then I can export just those to markdown for conversion to PDF and printing, as one does. ✍️ Reply by email
