redframes

en't used R, and so they don't know what they're missing out on. There was the Redframes project [3] to give Pandas a dplyr-esque API which I liked, but it's not being actively developed. I hope Polars can keep making progress in replacing Pandas, but it's still not quite as good as dplyr or even DF.jl. For plotting, Julia's time to first plot has got a lot better in recent versions, from memory it's something like 20 seconds a few years ago down to 3 seconds now. It'll never be as fast as matplotlib, but if you leave your terminal window open you only pay that price once. I actually think the best thing to come out of Julia recently is AlgebraOfGraphics.jl [4]. To me it's genuinely the biggest improvement to plotting since ggplot which is a high bar. It takes the ggplot concept of layers applied with the + operator and turns it into an equation, where + adds a layer on top of another, and the * operator has the distributive property, so you can write an expression like data * (layer_1 + layer_2) to visualise the same data with two visualisations. It's very powerful, but because it re-uses concepts from maths that you're already familiar with, it doesn't take a lot of brain space compared to other packages I've used.

ngs you need to do. Also, most to-do lists I've seen don't store the timestamp of when a to-do item was created. Conversely, entries in a daily log are more diverse and are all timestamped. They may include to-do items but don't have to. My entries are updates, notes, questions, and to-dos. My log is a markdown file, which I edit in Sublime Text. I created Espanso [1] shortcuts to add timestamped entries. E.g., "zzq" expands to "[2022-10-26 10:45:24]: Question []:" and "zzn" expands to "[2022-10-26 10:45:56]: Note:". For proper task/to-do management, I use Amazing Marvin [2], which is decent.

Criteria for decision? @me #projectLion What do you want to improve and why? - I need an easier way to find, e.g., all questions from this week for @Alex about #projectGamma. I'd like to easily filter entries by date, project (#projectGamma), person (@Alex), and type (Update, Question). - Nice to have but not required: - sort entries by status (not done: [], done: [x]) - auto-timestamp when a to-do item was created and completed - surround selected text with [], {}, "" and auto-close them like a programming text editor, e.g., ST, VSCode - duplicate & move entries via shortcuts What have you looked into? - People enjoy Obsidian [3] and Logseq [4]. I find them alluring too, but I don't yet know how to make them support my daily log. I'd need to spend at least a full day to figure out each of them, the time I don't have at the moment. (I use Obsidian for code snippets; it is excellent.) - Org-mode is very popular, but emacs and vim are way too much of a time investment (I tried many times before). Do share your evil and holy workflows, though. There are org-mode extensions for other text editors and EasyOrg [5]. I still need to try them. - I like the todo.txt format [6] and I am considering forking pter [7], but making it fit my needs would take quite a bit of work. Dealbreakers: - No Windows version - No desktop app - Subscription-based software, including charging for syncing between computers - No export option Links posted in a comment.
