Show HN: Journal – Command line utility that creates a daily journal entry (github.com)

I like to write up my tasks in a journal entry. Thought I would automate the process and have a bash script create my journal for me, open it in vim and let me start writing for the day.

It'd be cool if this pushed to slack or something like that or anywhere really. Like a daily commit.

Sort of like what hakka logs used to be:

https://www.hakkalabs.co/logs/

"Log anything that has to do with building software or a software business. Are you learning a new language? Log it. Debugging that side project? Log it. Adding features to your killer startup? Log it. Be as specific as you like. The more specific you are the more specific your matches will be."

It's nice to automate stuff. Since you use vim, here's a different approach to the same problem -- use a vim skeleton file -- http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_eval_to_create_dynamic_templat...

Great work @davidkneely
