Hey, Type creator here!

Thanks for posting this xanderlewis!

I was used to taking notes in text files (something to discuss in my next 1-1, tweet ideas, etc.), and I wanted to create a command bar app so I could quickly take notes from anywhere while I'm working, without going to manually open the file and thus be able to stay focused on my task. I also wanted to automatically attach the timestamp to each note to help me remember when I added it for context.

Here are some use cases: - Save highlights of the week for the next 1-1 or retro - Log the things you do during the day and see where you spend your time - Time tracking - Journaling - Step-by-step notes to reproduce a bug/test a feature - Take quick notes during a meeting - Take quick notes when watching a video

I’d love to hear your feedback and how you would use it!


I suppose vimwiki provides these features plus export.


I plan to add export in a future update as well.
