JourNote

> Proof of concept journal app with a text user interface.

JourNote is a proof of concept journal app with a text user interface and a couple of goals:

to illustrate creating a minimal app of this type (in Python);

to explore the use of `dialog` for a day-to-day tool of moderate complexity.

The name is pronounced like in French.

As of March 2024, JourNote is in development, and the state of documentation reflects that. See inside the archive for an introduction.
