Rucola is a terminal-based markdown note manager to view statistics, explore connections and launch editing and viewing applications. It’s fast and responsive especially on older hardware.
Rucola provides easy access to edit notes in your favorite terminal text editor such as vim, emacs or helix, thus allowing a far more powerful editing interface.
Rucola relies on an external program to view HTML versions of your markdown notes, allowing more customizability (for example with the rich plugin system of browsers) as well as more conformity to your usual workflow.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Present users of a zettelkasten-like note system of interlinked markdown files with high-level information and statistics about their notes. A Zettelkasten or card file consists of small items of information stored on Zettels (German: ‘slips’), paper slips or cards, that may be linked to each other through subject headings or other metadata such as numbers and tags. It has often been used as a system of note-taking and personal knowledge management for research, study, and writing
- Show the same information about filtered subsets of notes, as well as their relation with the entire note set.
- Allow the user to view and follow links and backlinks of a single note to see connections within their note graph.
- Allow the user to make small edits such as renaming or moving notes from within the application.
- Provide easy access to a powerful, external text editor for editing notes.
- Optionally compile notes to HTML-documents, including LaTeX compilation and code highlighting, on the fly and show them in an external viewer.
- Provide all of this functionality from within a terminal user interface.
