I have recently been using
|
|
\href{https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki}{VimWiki} to take all of my
|
|
notes instead of Joplin, and it has been working really well. It has its
|
|
own \href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)} format, but I use
|
|
regular \href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)} with it. I use
|
|
Syncthing to sync all my notes to all of my devices. There is barely any
|
|
delay, so there are never any conflict issues.
|
|
|

\subsection[What Is VimWiki?]{What Is VimWiki?}\label{what-is-vimwiki}}
|
|
|
|
VimWiki is a plugin for Vim or Neovim that allows you to create a
|
|
personal wiki. On this wiki, you can add anything you want. It is
|
|
essentially \href{https://obsidian.md/}{Obsidian} but more minimal and
|
|
scriptable.
|
|
|
|
Since it runs in Vim or Neovim, it is extremely fast, lightweight and
|
|
has barely any bloat. It runs blazingly fast even on old devices. The
|
|
capability is also extremely high, since you can edit files at light
|
|
speed when you learn Vim or Neovim properly.
|
|
|
|
\hypertarget{how-is-it-useful}{%

\subsection[How Is It Useful?]{How Is It
|
|
Useful?}\label{how-is-it-useful}}
|
|
|
|
Using VimWiki, it is trivial to organise notes, ideas, diaries, to-do
|
|
lists or even future plans. It supports tables, links and much more.
|
|
There is even an option to export your
|
|
\href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)} files to HTML, which
|
|
allows you to create webpages quickly.
|
|
|
|
VimWiki is so versatile that I wrote this post completely in VimWiki.
|
|
View the raw \href{../definitions/markdown/}{Markdown (.md)} file
|
|
\href{vimwiki.md}{here}
|
|
|
|
It allows you to do everything regular
|
|
\href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)} can do and more. For
|
|
example, you can have checklists with progress on them, like this;
|
|
|
|
\textbf{{[} {]} -\/-\textgreater{} 0\% complete}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{{[}.{]} -\/-\textgreater{} 1\% - 33\% complete}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{{[}o{]}-\/-\textgreater{} 33\% - 66\% complete}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{{[}O{]}-\/-\textgreater{} 66\% - 99\% complete}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{{[}X{]}-\/-\textgreater{} 100\% complete}
|
|
|
|
You can even have pre-formatted text. This makes it useful to add and
|
|
explain code.

\subsection[How Do You Use It?]{How Do You Use
|
|
It?}\label{how-do-you-use-it}}
|
|
|
|
On my computers, I use Neovim to use VimWiki. When it comes to my phone,
|
|
I use the \href{https://github.com/gsantner/markor}{Markor} app, which
|
|
is a \href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)} viewer. It is not
|
|
the best experience on mobile, but I am willing to give that up for an
|
|
amazing experience on my computers, since I use and note down things on
|
|
my computer more.
|
|
|
|
The reason I am using VimWiki now is mainly to stay in line with me
|
|
preferring plaintext to proprietary note apps or formats. As I mentioned
|
|
in my last post, I try to use as much plaintext as possible to prevent
|
|
distractions and have easy access to my notes wherever and whenever I
|
|
want to.
|
|
|
|
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
|
|
To conclude, I switched to VimWiki because I find it faster and easier
|
|
to use Neovim directly on my computer. I love using
|
|
\href{../definitions/markdown}{Markdown (.md)}, so I feel at home when
|
|
using VimWiki. It is also because I prefer to use plaintext as much as
|
|
possible.
