    I honestly only recently started writing notes and I did notice it does help me be more productive a little bit. That is only because I have terrible memory. That is why I need synced notes, if I am outside I need something for me to immediately write my thoughts down just in case I forget em.

    As for your script with Git in background and a delay hoping everything is synced up… I understand why this is done, but there has to be a better way.

    I agree but I couldn’t find one yet.

      if I am outside I need something for me to immediately write my thoughts down just in case I forget em.

      Me too. But how does this work with Git? At least for me the only thing that would with me is my (old) phone, and even that is has no internet access for the most part. For me the only thing left is just use any generic notes tool (and camera) on phone and later at home transfer the notes to my PC by rewriting them in Vim again… I’m still working on that.

      For the Git script, how about autostart it once when you log into your system, and each time after the notes editing is done instead just before? If you want to be sure its always synced up before starting the edits, then yes it makes sense to run Git before you start editing. But in that case it shouldn’t be in the background, otherwise it defeats the purpose to me. You already use a delay, so the background process makes less sense. In that case just use Git command and wait until its finished.

      This is just me thinking without using it, and I have no idea how this works out in real world usage. I have no better idea. If it works for you, then keep using it. This really bugs me right now. :D
