cyberlogs: cli journaling app

With just a few keystrokes, you can create a journal entry, add your thoughts, and save them in the "journal/" directory, like whispers of your soul echoing in the void of cyberspace. The lightweight nature of this app makes it the perfect tool for tracking your ideas, progress, and memories as you wander through the dystopian landscape of your projects.

Usage

Option 1: execute the binary and open the file manually

Run the binary:

./target/release/cyberlogs

The output will reveal the path to the created file, e.g. "journal/2023-05-05_1919.txt". Open it using your text editor of choice:

vim journal/2023-05-05_1919.txt

Option 2:

In this example, we'll use neovim as our text editor:

./target/release/cyberlogs | xargs nvim

Option 3: use the provided bash script (most convenient)

First, grant execution permissions to the run.sh script:

chmod +x run.sh

Modify the run.sh script to change the text editor, if desired.
Run the script:

./run.sh

Use it anywhere
