Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
Hey!<p>I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s.<p>The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned out really well for my use cases.<p>I decided to release Heynote, thinking it might be useful to others.
Tell HN: I salute everyone on call/working support through the holidays
Thank you for keeping systems available and safe. I've been there many times in the past, including having to fly at the last minute to a non-internet-connected data center in NJ to babysit an emergency production bug fix that took the entire holiday to create, install, verify, and monitor.
