tn

This is a command-line program for keeping your own journals, written in Haskell and licensed under the ISC license. You can find a copy of the ISC licensein the LICENSE file

History

I've been trying on and off to write this program since 2014, but have never gotten to the point where I've actually had a usable program. Hence, why we're on version 4.0, and I still don't have a usable version yet. Each new major version has been a complete rewrite because the previous version was a disaster.

tn is licensed as such because I originally wanted to use it as a tool to record the food I was eating. The natural name would be fj, for "food journal". However, I use the [Colemak keyboard layout][2], and typing fj is somewhat awkward. Moreover, in 2014, I had only begun using the Colemak layout. Hitting the key immediately under left index finger, followed by the key under the right index finder yielded the sequence tn in Colemak.

Specification

• tn "some string" records the journal entry to ~/.local/share/tn/journal.yml with the time.

  • adding --stdout prints the output to stdout
  • adding - takes the input from stdin
  • adding --stdin takes the input from stdin

Installing

The version on Hackage is out of date, and also really terrible, so don't try to cabal install tn just yet. You'll need [git][git-install] and The Haskell Stack.

git clone https://github.com/pharpend/tn.git
cd tn
stack setup
stack build

I welcome any contributions anyone wants to make. If you find a bug or a feature request, use the [GitHub bug tracker][issues]. If you want to contribute, use the normal method of contributing to projects on GitHub.
