notetaker

Creates and opens daily markdown notes with YAML frontmatter in Neovim.

Description

This script automates the creation of daily notes by:

• Creating a markdown file for the current date if it doesn't exist
• Adding YAML frontmatter with title, author, and date
• Opening the file in Neovim with automatic timestamp insertion

Usage

./notetaker.sh

File Location

Notes are stored in: ~/Google Drive/My Drive/notes/src/note-YYYY-MM-DD.md

YAML Frontmatter

New notes are created with the following frontmatter:

---
title: "Notes"
author: "Jeremie Fraeys"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---

Neovim Integration

When opening the note, Neovim is configured to:

• Jump to the end of the file
• Insert a timestamped subtitle (e.g., ## 14:30)
• Enter insert mode ready for typing

Notes

• Google Drive sync is required for notes to be backed up
• The script creates the note file if it doesn't exist, or opens the existing one
• Requires Neovim to be installed and available in PATH
