It's not an infinite canvas, but ... [Plugin]

It's not an infinite canvas, but ... [Plugin]

Compass is a vibe-coded plugin that serves as a "proof of concept" for thinking about your note pages as a "map" of pages to be arranged/connected as you see fit rather than as a sequential "book" of pages. It's not an infinite canvas, but it scratches some of those itches.

Still very limited, but here's what it does...

Clicking on the plugin inside any note's options menu > Plugins gives you a "compass rose." Clicking on one of the directions (up, down, left, right) will:

  1. Create a new page at the end of your note, using the same template as the current page.
  2. Insert a link to that new page on the corresponding edge of the current page (that is, create a page "up" from the current page and a link pointing up will appear at the top edge of the current page).
  3. Insert a link back to the original page on the opposite edge of the new page (that is, create a page "up" from the current page and that new page will have a link pointing down at the bottom of the new page).

You can walk this "map" by clicking on the links along page edges.

There's also a button in the plugin to export the entire mess as a single PNG, stitched together into the amazing puzzle that you've made as you've linked them.

I'll keep working on this ...

Scroll Export - export full note as a single stitched PNG [Plugin]

Here's another Claude-coded plugin to fill in a gap that I needed for sharing notes to various apps more cleanly ... export your current multipage note as a single stitched (top-to-bottom) PNG. It lands in your EXPORT folder.

I vibe-coded this in Swift to be a clipboard manager, file dropbox, and calendar. Then I added a snarky AI commentator with productivity/focus scoring.

1.0 Beta 1 release is here:
https://github.com/jpmoo/notchnik

Just beginning with this! Eager for thoughts/suggestions.

Note: AI is optional, and is completely local. It depends on Ollama installed localhost or on a reachable server. For models, I'm getting good results using mistral-nemo:12b (on an Ubuntu server with an eGPU on my home network), but you might need a smaller model if you have lower memory/specs. App uses accessibility settings to see and track your activity, and will also have access to whatever's on calendar feeds you enter in the calendar pane. It also considers actual browser tabs if you give it access, but not incognito/private tabs. Different AI personality profiles are available, including generic (not snarky), Bob Dylan space cadet, Heath Ledger Joker, a jaded jackass who is just there to roast you (that's what you have in the screenshot below), and ridiculously corporate. ("Let's put a pin in this, and circle back later to revisit its alignment to our 'why!'")

Lots of plans, including a place to define a custom personality, media controls, maybe a plugin architecture for add-on modules, and more.

Completely free/open source! Enjoy!

Clipboard manager.

AI commentator giving its, um, thoughts on your morning work.

A glimpse of the productivity and focus reporting/tracking/scoring stuff.

Here’s what I ended up with, using 3mm leather for lining (Wickett-Craig dark brown bridle) and 4-5mm outer (Horween Essex-style in natural).

I didn’t end up using the front cover panel because I wanted a pocket for a Field Notes notebook for those analog moments, plus any folded papers/business cards, etc., which all would render the front panel unnecessary/useless.

The magnet attachment screws are just barely long enough for 3mm leather inner liner. Any thicker and it wouldn’t have worked.

All hand cut, glued, stitched, etc., with copper snap and rivet.

This should get a nice patina over time!
