Hello HN,

Here's a tiny script I use for taking notes on the command line.

I spend most of my day working in a terminal, and have always looked for a way to rapidly write down notes, thoughts, TODOs, temporary keys, or have a good place to copy/paste multiple things.

Originally I had aliased the `note` command to simply create a new markdown file in a specific directory and then open it with vim. A co-worker saw me using it and asked me about it - so I decided to expand upon the idea.

Note Keeper is a tiny bash script that supports a few options for creating and editing simple text-based markdown notes, and it organizes them in a sane way (by date).

You can read about how I use it here: http://chambers.io/2018/08/01/note-keeper.html

Happy to answer any questions. Cheers!
