    • Amazing! This is the vim plugin I’ve always wanted to write. I used Notational Velocity briefly on Mac before I switched to Linux/Windows machines during university and kinda…

    • So nice my two favorite apps nvim and nvalt got merged. Anyone already tried it, how is it?

    • This is cool! It's generic enough that it works not only with nvalt on Mac, but also with Notable on Linux (https://github.com/notable/notable) Notable also uses markdown files…

Objections

  • Description unclear to people unfamiliar with Notational Velocity

    From 2 comments
    • The description isn't that obvious for people that don't know what notational velocity is or how it works.

    • Yes and I started reading that and went to nvAlt which was also mentioned. But it was frustrating to spend that much effort before even knowing what it was with some detail. And…

    • That buries the lede a little. NV has become popular because of its speed. Your notes are instantly searchable in the top bar of NV. You just type in what you're looking for, and…

  • vimwiki with fzf

    From 1 comment

  • Terminal Velocity

    From 1 comment
    • This looks cool, but I have been happy with https://github.com/vhp/terminal_velocity - terminal based, I use it with vim but you can specify the editor.
