It has been a good run of ~5 years building and using this myself! I hope you have found it as useful as me during this time. Alas, I have outgrown my own project and decided to continue on a more supported platform going forward. As of January 2022 I'm using https://dendron.so/ (plugin for VSCode) which mostly does what this plugin did for Atom (and more).
That said, I am not satisfied with any of the existing options out there and still contemplating alternatives. I intend to build something better, someday, but don't have the time or energy right now. Time will tell.
Thanks.
Your mental notes at your fingertips!
For those of you who used Notational Velocity or nvAlt should feel right at home: it's intended to be an alternative to those applications but with the benefits of the Atom ecosystem.
Caveats:
- Still WIP, see the change log for what's been done so far, and v1 roadmap milestone for planned/upcoming features.
- Developed and tested on MacOSX, it should work fine on Linux and Windows too but there's no guarantees right now. Help is appreciated!
- Due to Atom's purpose of being a text-editor only text files are intended to be supported, compared to the single-database option NV offers.
Use the Textual Velocity: Start Session command to get started, the package is lazy loaded.
By default notes are saved in ~/.atom/notes, you can change it in the package settings.
While the plugin can be run in any Atom window it's recommended to run it in a separate instance for easier usage and access to your notes
Also, I recommend the following packages, that works great in combination with textual-velocity:
- quick-file-actions - Quickly copy, delete, move, and create new files
- file-icons - Assign file extension icons and colours for improved visual grepping
- preview - Ultimate previewer of source code in Atom.
- recent-files-fuzzy-finder - Find recently opened files easier
- block-travel - Quickly travel up/down between blocks of code
