A bash script for quick note/idea taking

Usage:

Record a quick note:

$ idea this is a quick note

Record something longer as a project idea:

$ idea -c project
...

See all your todos:

$ idea -l todo

For all possibilities:

$ idea -h

How-to:

  1. Put the idea script with your other binaries, or in a separate folder, but then don't forget to include that folder to your PATH variable (There are plenty of resources out there if you don't know how to do the latter)
  2. Add execution rights to it: $ chmod u+x idea
  3. Rehash to use instantly: $ rehash

Notes :

  • Not fully input proof, but no input should cause future usage-breaking behavior
  • Obviously it only works in macOS and Linux distros, or any environment whos file system has '/' as a seperator and can run bash
  • When recording an idea:
    • A line is only recorded when enter/return is typed. Finish recording with CTRL+D
    • On macOS CTRL+D is usally mapped as a shortcut, either remove that mapping or use CTRL+C instead to stop a recording
