This is a delightful app. Thank you for sharing! I like the user experience. I don't need to do anything except for write and press enter when I want to create a new line of text.

#22I have explained this idea to a friend just a couple months back! Thanks for building it, and with such polish.

#23Whoa cool! I built a bespoke tool eerily similar to this several years ago as an intern at Johnson Space Center for logging mission communications. I’ve wished I had something like it for meeting notes every time since then. I’ll be giving it a try ;)
Re: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
#24Nice job! Just noticed—when an item is edited, the edited timestamp isn’t being captured.
This is probably intentional -- if you want to fix a typo or make something clearer that you've already captured you likely want to preserve the original timestamp?
If you want an entry timestamped to your current time, you can make a new entry.
Re: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
#25Looks awesome! Was thinking about building it for myself. One note: the delete function is not working apparently: it shows a note is deleted, but it appears again after reload.
Re: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
#26Nice idea and really polished look.
Nit: clicking "Create X" to add a new tag seems worse than pressing enter to create one as you have to go off the tag menu and back onto it to create or add another, but it's not necessarily clear that you can press enter to create one.

#27I really don't get how this can't be emulated with the F5 key, or something like Sublime Text's InsertDate package, or a text expansion software. What does this note taking provide that's any different?
Yeah, this seems like an Obsidian package waiting to happen.
Obsidian already has this, super-D for date, super-T for time, trivial to add inline as you go, if using a single-note approach. And any new note automatically captures its time of creation and last-edited time.

#28Nice.
I'm using a simple little combo of a shell script and alias to append a line of text to a text file in a known location. The script is just to prepend the line with a timestamp. Stupid and simple, but hey, it works for me.
My aliases:
alias ttag='/cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag.sh'
alias ttagcat='\cat /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt'
alias ttago='open /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt'
1 │ LOGFILE=/cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt
2 │ TIMESTAMP_NICE=$(date +"%F %H.%M.%S - %s:")
3 │ echo $TIMESTAMP_NICE "$@" >> $LOGFILERe: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
#29If you use org-mode, you can just set up a git repo which auto-commits with gitwatch. And run magit-blame when you want the timestamps. With the advantage that it doesn't distract you when you don't need to see them, but super useful when you want to check when a note is written.
Why git though? Wouldn't it be simpler to just append the timestamp to the beginning or end of each line/paragraph, and just hide it when editing?
Re: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
#30Nice work! Is it possible to hide the seconds?
Btw, F5 in Notepad inserts a time stamp.
