notebook_rs

CLI tool for maintaining plaintext notebooks, formatted as Markdown by default.

Still very much a work in progress.

On first use, it will create a config file in the OS specific config directory (e.g. ~/.config/notebook_rs/). The default notebook location is $HOME/Documents.

Performs a fairly simple sentiment analysis on the text by default, using a Rust implementation of the VADER tool.
