- deafpolygon 1y agoWhat blows my mind is Apple doesn’t include an editor for text files!
- SOLAR_FIELDS 1y agoWorks if you are in the Apple ecosystem entirely. I have read there are difficulties if you want to sync to a non Apple device under this approach
- shigi42 1y agoThis is one of the reasons I use a git repo along with iCloud. Anyway, using iCloud across 4+ Apple devices has not been a problem in general.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 1y agoAny notes on how you achieve this? I use a-shell on my iOS devices but it is... sometimes flaky
- zikduruqe 1y agoHell, you don't even need obsidian. Just create a bash function notes() { if [ ! -z "$1" ]; then mkdir -m 00750 -p /Users/User/iCloud/Documents/notes Now=$(date '+%B %d %Y %H:%M') echo -en "\n$Now\t$@\n" >> /Users/User/iCloud/Documents/notes/notes.txt else echo "${Now}" cat /Users/User/iCloud/Documents/notes/notes.txt 2>/dev/null fi }
- accrual 1y agoWhile we're sharing simple note taking functions, here's mine that I used for a few years. :) function nod { mg +-1 "/home/user/notes/$(date "+%Y-%m-%d").txt"; } * 'nod' stands for "notes of (the) day" and was quick to type. * 'mg' is micro emacs, my first shell-based editor thanks to OpenBSD. The '+-1' syntax means "open at end of file" so I could easily append.
- bspammer 1y agoI had the bright idea of symlinking $HOME/.local to an iCloud directory once. About a week later it got completely deleted. No way to restore, or any indication of what happened. Luckily I had a backup with another provider, but I will never trust iCloud again for anything that’s not on the golden path (e.g. photos)
