Ask HN: Favorite note-taking software?

I had the same sort of idea. I built this when Notational Velocity broke when upgrading to the latest macOS: https://github.com/JesseAldridge/toothbrush It's a single python file for grepping a directory of text files as I type. I have a global keyboard shortcut cmd+J that gives focus to my terminal and I then launch the script by running `t`. Then I can just start typing to search a career's worth of notes.

Would be cool if you could share your setup on GitHub.

Notational Velocity broke? Any details? I'm continuing to use it happily on High Sierra.

Yeah High Sierra was what broke for me: https://github.com/scrod/nv/issues/365

Maybe it's working now?

I switched to this: http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/

Now, if I could just find something as brilliant for this Surface Book 2.

Weird; I don't think I've updated NV in quite a while, and my disk is APFS. I have no idea what could be different. Anyways, thanks for the detail.
