I have published my initial ideas for the PlainText Journaling Markup Language.

Inspired by Huang's never-ending, productivity journal .txt file and influenced by Tony Stubblebine's concept of "interstitial journaling," the PlainText Journaling Markup Language is designed to simplify the experience of plain text journaling.

The journal.py has some functionality. Most importantly: move all open tasks to bottom of journal.

Let me know what you think.

@geffrey @obsidianmd Interesting! I use this Expanso shortcut to insert a bullet and the current time in italics for interstitial journaling in #Obsidian, though it should work in any #markdown app:

Print the Interstitial Journal current 24-hour time

  • trigger: ";ji"
    replace: "- {{mytime}} "
    vars:
  • name: mytime
    type: date
    params:
    format: "%H:%M"

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @obsidianmd This is great! I’ll be using a version of this on my work laptop! Adding Expanso shortcuts to the repository 😄

Any other text expanders I should consider?

@geffrey @obsidianmd I love , but it doesn’t work on mobile, so on my iPhone I use Apple’s built-in version (General > Keyboard > Text Replacement), which isn’t as good (I don’t think it can insert the current date or time, for example).

I believe there’s an expander plugin for , but I haven’t tried it.

Iirc, Text Expander works on iOS, but you have to use their soft keyboard, and it's an absurdly expensive subscription.
