CLI and local web plain text note‑taking, bookmarking, and archiving with linking, tagging, filtering, search, Git versioning & syncing, Pandoc conversion, + more, in a single portable script.
An important part of my workflow is reviewing notes to prune, organize, and combine notes. I've written a script to iterate over notes in a notebook, display them, and prompt for deletion, edit, or simply skipping. I think this functionality might be more useful integrated in nb, but think of this as a proof of concept.
#!/usr/bin/fish
#
# must pass valid notebook name
set -l notebook $argv[1]
if not nb notebook $notebook
echo "Run nb_review with a valid nb notebook"
return
end
set -l nb_filenames (nb $notebook:run ls)
for filename in $nb_filenames
set -l id (nb $notebook:index get_id $filename)
nb $notebook:show $id | cat
read answer -p "echo; set_color -o -u red; printf '(d)elete (e)dit (c)ontinue'; set_color normal; printf ': '"
switch $answer
case "d"
echo "Deleting $filename"
nb $notebook:delete --force $id
case "e"
nb $notebook:edit $id
case "c"
echo "Skipping $filename"
end
clear
end
