I love the UI and the concept. The editing experience is great, it works like a text editor should. The keyboard shortcuts could be more intuitive (Ctrl+S instead of Alt+S?) but at least I like that they’re always shown on the UI so I don’t have to remember them.
Things that could be improved:
- mark it as an executable so that users don’t have to
chmod +x jernthemselves - prev/next keys/buttons to navigate through entries in chronological order. very useful for remembering what you wrote yesterday or last week, and referencing it in a newer entry
- add support for other unlocking mechanisms, such as a passphrase, an OTP device, or a path to a key file stored in a removable medium.
- as far as I can tell, the program did not generate a
.kfile for me. Or at least I don’t know where it is.
I can actually see myself using this as a pure journaling program (ignoring the encryption) to keep track of progress on projects. Consider posting it on hacker news or reddit when it’s more complete.
