Inspired a little bit by org mode (as someone who knows zero Emacs and didn't really jive with nvim-orgmode) and a little bit by Obsidian, I decided to finally make my first Neovim plugin to fill my need for a markdown bullet journal with proper vim bindings. It's still very much in development but I've been using it daily for a couple of weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Current features: - Access your bullet journal from any vim session: :Bujo now, next, and previous will open the spread for the current date, next date, previous date, and also navigate further forward/backward - Default keybinds for everything, but completely configurable - Support for "spreads" (documents associated with a date span) and "notes" (topic-based documents, searchable by name) - Template support using https://github.com/leafo/etlua - Everything is sta

ndard markdown so you're not locked in to using it - Date spans are arbitrarily configurable -- hourly? daily? weekly? monthly? it doesn't care, just configure a filename template and it will infer the rest - Integrates with telescope.nvim to easily navigate to spreads/notes and to quickly insert links to other documents - Optional git integration to automatically commit and push your journal on save (I have mine in a private repo) There are a couple of other miscellaneous things I'm still iterating on, like convenience mappings for toggling markdown checkboxes and an integration with michaelb/sniprun for executing codeblocks (both of these are working but very basic right now). So in summary, if you've been looking for a note taking plugin for neovim and this sounds like it might fit your flow, I'd love to get your feedback!

Hello, I create lapis. I'm actually on the verge of releasing a new huge update. New features include: * first class lua support * built in support for a lua templating language: https://github.com/leafo/etlua * a new postgres driver written in pure lua, should play nicer with luajit and and be available in more stages of nginx request cycle: https://github.com/leafo/pgmoon * lots of other smaller changes All of this code is in master I just need to write all the documentation for it, sigh. The biggest site I've created with lapis is itch.io: http://itch.io it's currently 43,209 lines of code (excluding libraries). I run it on a really crappy 10 dollar a month vps, memory and cpu usage is tiny. I've handled well over a million requests per day in the past with no issues. The app communicates with a lot of third party payment services over

http in the server, because of the non-blocking nature of openresty throughput is not affected when these services are slow (eg. paypal). Another interesting lapis project is MoonRocks: http://rocks.moonscript.org/ it's a public lua module hosting site. It's opensource so you can check out what a developed lapis application looks like: https://github.com/leafo/moonrocks-site Thanks for checking out lapis!
