I got round to making something for myself and sharing it here in case anyone else might also find it useful. It is a browser based way of quickly capturing a new note, but which will also show you some context from your vault, as you create your note.
It runs on a locally hosted page, that you can set as your homepage. I’ve including a little installer wizard that will let you set your vault. You can really customise it the way you want but it relies on a logic of an inbox and a memory folder. The inbox is where the notes will be stored for later sorting. The memory is where it serve context from. So if you’re writing a new note on topic x, you can write topic x in the context window and it will serve notes related to that topic in a quick view.
Excited to see what others will do with it but I can see it developing into a dashboard viewer - essentially showing tasks, reminders, calendars etc. For now, I like the simplicity of the quick capture.
I’m providing three basic themes: a retro-futuristic terminal, a clean sans-serif Swiss theme and a seriffy editorial theme. You can switch between light and dark modes as you please.
