VimWiki is my preferred notetaking solution because it's intentionally minimal. When I want to take notes, I want to take notes, not see a mind map or extra visualizations or photos to distract me....

    For anyone who loves Vim, Vimwiki is freaking great. I’ve been using it for many years. I’m not sure if it’s still being updated anymore, and I’ve never been able to find a mailing list or anything along those lines though.

      I guess old habits die hard. After using nano for so long, vim frustrates me. I recognize it as superior, it’s just something I never really pursued. Plus I use MobaXTerm which bridges the gap in that it has built in editors that would be more in line with Vim.

        I get the vim frustration. The first Linux distro I used shipped with a broken x-server and vi(m) (late 90s) as the editor, so it was definitely jumping in with both feet. It was Vim or Emacs, and Emacs seemed like more than I was willing to take on at the time. It’s kind of annoying how much other editors frustrate me now. I know a lot of people are OK with nano, or whatever editor, but every time I find myself not using vim to edit these days it freaking kills me.

    Been doing that for many, many years.

    Just recently made some tweaks and now my vimwiki output goes to my Obsidian directory. This way i can get a nicer output on my phone when I’m really just wishing to search and read my notes instead of taking them.
