Végre itt van! Mostantól a Bearben nem csak a sima szöveges jegyzeteket titkosíthatjuk, hanem azokat is, amelyhez képet, PDF-et vagy más fájlt csatoltunk. Részletek korábbi, de frissített tesztünkben.

I took a stab at cleaning up my code for BearExporter, a Python script to export all of your Bear notes to Markdown files you can use with Obsidian, read in the terminal, or whatever.

As the old saying goes "it works for me!" but I know it's not exactly great code, but it is available.

I'm not great at Python but I'll try to improve it as time allows.

I wrote up a quick post on how to edit a theme for Bear (and then discovered other theme hackers as well!)

I spent some time tweaking the backup agent for the #bearapp via #launchd. It still does not work as I wanted. I am missing some starting triggers, and the documentation does not contain much detail. It’s hard to tweak certain things on #macOS these days.

Yes to Obsidian... I copied the exported Markdown files from Bear to a folder on the Linux laptop and can open & use all the notes just fine.

So the next idea would be to automate the process by scheduling the Mac to export all the files and move them to a volume that Obsidian can use as a vault.

The whole idea here being I can use Bear, but still access my notes while using Linux.

So right now the Python script grabs the text of a note, creates a file with the title as the name (needs work) and then sets the date created & modified time of the file.

So on disk are Markdown files with all my Bear notes. This makes them available as plain text files in the terminal, on Linux, heck...probably in Obsidian as well?

I found a Python script somebody wrote to export Bear's notes from the sqlite db they are stored in and it's not exactly what I need so I ended up writing about 25 lines of my own Python code that does what I need.

It is... rough, but it works! I need to add a few things, like cleaning titles for filename, etc. (The script I found had issues of its own, so...)

I welcome these little challenges to learn more Python though.

Some "notes" (LOL) about my first week with Anytype, how I see using it, and why I probably won't put all my notes there...

I've really come to love Bear and how it works, but with no easy way to get to those notes on Linux I may just end up with a combo of Bear and Anytype.

(I moved to Bear years ago when I dumped Evernote.)

I also didn't find a good way to use Obsidian across macOS, iOS, and Linux.

I've been using Anytype for a few days now. There are things I really like about it (and the org) and I'll probably use it in my workflow (and it will replace Notion) but I'm not sure it'll work for as a general notebook for me.

I really prefer a big blank text area like Bear or Obsidian uses, with really good markdown support. I've not been able to get that smoothly in Anytype yet.

The "everything is an object" just seems more database driven in how it works.

If you are into #bearapp you probably know about upcoming #bearweb; it is still in private beta. I created a video showcasing the bear for web. Please check if you are curious!

Related to the same () topic:

One thing that makes me truly giddy with delight as a software connaisseur 😏:

When I'm about to submit a feature request, but double-check whether the software already "does that thing." Only to realize that I simply hadn't found it yet, and that it does _exactly_ what I was looking for.

Only thing missing in today's find (in 's ) was a keyboard shortcut, and that's a trivial fix via 's Keyboards settings. mastodon.social/@jochenwolters

🫶 Meet Bear, the Markdown note-taking app that helps you capture and organize your thoughts 🐻‍❄️
MindNode and Bear are a pawfect match 🐾 Use our special shortcut to import your Bear notes into MindNode and turn them into mind maps.

How great an application’s unique are, often becomes apparent only when you try to use them elsewhere, and that other app doesn't support it.

Case in point: Turn selected text into a clickable link.

When you hit the shortcut in , the note taking app, the program checks if there's a URL in the clipboard. If so, it automatically places the URL in the link panel. No need to trigger the Paste command, let alone select the URL field first.

Hello @johnnydecimal :ablobwavereverse: I thought I was on your email list, but I missed this. Just purchased and will give it a go as I've decided to fully move over to @obsidian @obsidianmd from @logseq 🥹 [My vault had gotten too big to reliably sync via icloud]. Very pleased with #ObsidianSync it's a keeper #pkm #pkms #markdown #obsidian #obsidianmd #logseq Will try it in #bearapp bear.app/ too. Ironically I resisted obsidian because I struggled with the concept of managing folders. 🫠 Tagging lots so that more people can learn about this great tool. The Bear, Obsidian and universal markdown compatibility options are chef's kiss. 😎

🚀 Exciting news! I’ve just launched a free companion app for Bear, designed for templates, quick access, and daily notes. It started as a weekend project and turned into something truly useful. Now available on TestFlight for macOS. Check it out here: fodaveg.net/bear-claw/ .

🛠️ Try it out, report bugs, and request features. Your feedback is welcome!

Anyone here uses Bear??? #bearApp #BearNotes #productivity

testing out #NotePlan. It seems to be a nice balance between #Bearapp and #Obsidian for MacOS/iOS.

#bearapp is incredible for buttery smooth markdown note taking, but I don't own an iPhone, so no mobile usage for me :')

Back to #Obsidian rocking the „Tokyo Night“ theme 😍

My #BearApp subscription was already canceled a while ago.

The final push today was watching a video of @nickmilo by accident scrolling through recommendations.

I was an Obsidian user some time ago for many years and switched because I didn't like the iOS app. But watching the video made it more clear/present again to me, that owning your notes is a fundamental advantage. Let’s see how this goes (again) :)
