Re: Shell Scripts for Managing Markdown Notes
#2Recently there was [a thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270) on Notable and many commented that they were upset that it was no longer open source.
This is something that actually concerned me and so I started using a lot of `bash` scripts to emulate behaviour that I like in Notable, that way I could use Notable without the fear of being locked it but I could try and emulate its behavior in a way that more suited my workflow.
I put the script I use [up on my GitHub](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270) and I recently [made a Reddit post](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270). I thought maybe you guys could find them helpful or offer feedback?

I did a similar thing to replace my personal workflow that I'd been using a home instance of JIRA for for some time.
I thought about opening it up, but TBH there's loads of these things already, and the real value for me is that I built it myself and it conforms perfectly to what I need. I looked at a few others, but the overhead of grokking someone else's tool was just too much of a hassle for me.
The ergonomics of these things are really close to perfect when you decide yourself what features you want and how they should be implemented.

I couldn't agree more about the difficulty of grokking somebody else's tool.
The thing is though it took me a long time to get to the level where I could put something like this together and I wish I could have had some sort of guidance earlier on.
That's why I've tried to make my implementation modular, so others can take the things that they haven't figured out from mine and implement it in there workflow.
I should get around to documenting it so others can take replicate, imitate or fork it.

I think you wanted to link to your GitHub and Reddit post, but all your links seem to point to the same HN thread. Since I'm interested in the matter, would you mind putting the correct links?

Oh you’re absolutely right, what a silly mistake on my end, I put it up on my GitHub here, check it out:
