Simple pure shell script to launch a scratchpad in neovim, based on the current date, with simple reminders built in.
Put this script in your $HOME/bin and make sure you have your path set to that directory.
Just simply type scratchpad in a terminal to pull up the current day's scratchpad. It's recommended to have a key binding set for this, or at the very least create an alias, for maximum convenience.
If you use dwm, you can insert these lines into config.def.h:
/*commands*/
static const char *scratchpad[] = { "<YOUR TERMINAL EMULATOR>", "-e", "sh", "-c", "<ABSOLUTE PATH TO scratchpad FILE>; sh", NULL };
/*Keys*/
{ MODKEY, XK_p, spawn, {.v = scratchpad} },
To add a reminder, simply end the line you want with [+].
The next day, you will see those saved reminders at the top of the scratchpad. You'll notice that the [+] became [?].
If you don't replace the ? back to a +, the reminder will not show up on the following day's scratchpad.
That's basically it, so far!
You may also retrieve your scratchpads using the CLI, by simply tying sr -d day month year.
You don't have to specify an exact date. If you just specify a month, you will be taken to the directory of the current year's month. e.g sr -d dec --> equivalent to cd /path/to/current/year/month
Likewise, specifying a date and month, will take you to the current year's month and day. e.g. sr -d 10 dec --> vim /path/to/current/year/month/10-12-YYYY
