Notes for the power user

Higher dimensions to simple notes

Wysgy aims to increase the clarity of note taking. It does this by allowing:

• relationships between notes

  • Related notes need not link to each other. Instead wysgy rel note1 note2 and this creates a link file (add your notes about the relationship here ```mermaid graph LR notesA -- here you can describe the relationship --> notesB

• arbitrary existing files to be attached to notes

  • Want to add a note about a syslog file or a test output? wysgy file <your_existing_file> and this will open a blank file in your $EDITOR. You can add description about the file here.

    • Ex: wysgy file <your_existing_file>

    • In the editor,

      test_on: 6th Jan
      success: yes
      email: pending
      

• add text notes as key-value pairs

  • Jotting down websites/numbers? wysgy json <note_name> <your_notes_go_here>
    • Ex: `wysgy json ccareonline "number: 94384859, expectedcall: 2 days from now"

Viewing notes

Wysgy notes are fundamentally key-value pairs (currently the value can only be a String). To view notes:

wysgy show <note-name>

To view related notes

wysgy cnts <note-name>

Portability

Wysgy notes, relationships are simply files. A wysgy project is a collection of your notes and relationship files describing the interconnects. It also contains the files you may have added with wysgy file. It becomes a self-contained, portable folder that can be backed up with git, dropbox, google drive, whatever you prefer.

Installation

`cargo install wysgy`
