Mine is still coughing along on Ventura. I'm more upset about the one-decade-in-beta, almost-certain-never-to-be-released, quasi-vaporware nvULTRA.

I used to love nvALT. Want to check out https://hashy.ink. It's an open source markdown editor inspired by nvALT. Still rough around the edges, but it's coming together.

Lost me in the first sentence with the AI chat.

It's optional btw, it's bring your own key. I'm debating taking it out too as I find if I wanna use AI with it, I usually just open claude code in the folder in the terminal..

You can just use neovim with fzf and that pretty much replicates nvALT.

I am familiar with nvim and fzf but not nvALT. Could you give me a brief explanation of the workflow here? Is fzf just used to jump between separate note files or what? Personally I have a general notes.txt as well as more specific ones like what I order at a specific restaurant or what I'm working on in a game. I don't use fzf with nvim, moreso with shell scripts.

nvALT is a mac app (developed by brett terpestra) that would store notes in a directory (txt files) and you would type in a few words to search/find the file you wanted to edit, and if the search string didn’t exist, hit enter to create a new one (or cmd+N)

it was rather simple, and is reminisce of using fzf with telescope (<leader>fg for file grep, or <leader>ff for file search by filename). type in a few letters, select your match and hit enter to edit.
