I've connected together a few tools so I can quickly publish thoughts to a website.
Jrnl #
Jrnl is a slick CLI tool for journaling. It stores data in a single text file.
Lists #
Another tool in the picosphere, Lists lets you easily publish a list-oriented text file to the web.
Raycast #
This is how I input my thoughts. I have a simple extension that calls jrnl,
then pipes the output into lists.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Required parameters:
# @raycast.schemaVersion 1
# @raycast.title jrnl-public
# @raycast.mode silent
# Optional parameters:
# @raycast.icon 📖
# @raycast.argument1 { "type": "text", "placeholder": "Entry" }
# @raycast.packageName JrnlPackage
# Documentation:
# @raycast.description Add a jrnl entry to public journal
# @raycast.author Ben Tsai
# @raycast.authorURL bentsai.org
jrnl public "$1"
jrnl public --short | tac | ssh lists.sh Jrnl.txt
