Demo](https://github.com/akaalias/getstreamline/raw/main/demo.png)\n\n👋🏻 **HELLO** and welcome!!\n\nAlexis here, great to have you. \n\nI take copious notes with Obsidian and journal daily.\n\nIf you do, too, maybe the following sounds familiar :)\n\n## A FUCKING CONUNDRUM\n\nI LOVE journaling with pen and paper in the morning.\n\nJournaling gives me a safe space where **I let my heart speak**. \n\nThis makes me feel safe.\n\nI also LOVE note-taking with Obsidian. \n\nIt gives me an exciting space where **I let my mind wander**.\n\nThat makes me feel like a million bucks.\n\nBut… \n\nHere’s the RUB.\n\n### Problem #1: Peace without a future\n\nWhen I journal with pen and paper, **I can’t link to Obsidian**.\n\n**There is no easy way to link to a note** in Obsidian without losing the peace and quiet that I cherish. \n\nSo, none of my heart-felt writings will be ever leverage the 6,018 notes in Obsidian because they’re stuck on paper???\n\nFuck.\n\n### Problem #2: Writing as exciting as pink noise\n\nAnd when I try to journal in Obsidian, **it’s extremely hard to focus**.\n\nEither…\n\nMy **mind wanders off to far** by following one of the 6,018 rabbit-holes I’ve stored in my vault.\n\nOR **my inner editor criticises my spelling** as I type, ensuring no creativity is left.\n\nSo, my notes in Obsidian will perpetually lack real depth and a heart-felt spontaneity that makes them sparkle???\n\nFUCK!\n\n# Streamline is a stream-of-consciousness writer for Obsidian users\n\nSo I built Streamline.\n\nIt’s a *writer* that helps me:\n\n…**Enter** that quiet journaling space.\n\n…AND **Link** to my notes easily without getting pulled away.\n\n…AND **Let go** of my inner editor by removing most normal editor features.\n\n### A completely new journaling flow\nInstead of journaling by hand, I now do a quick, relaxed Streamline session.\n\nUsually right after I log in to my laptop. \n\nThe built-in unobtrusive search lets me insert links to Obsidian quickly. \n\nThen I save it as a markdown note to my vault.\n\nIt’s really simple.\n\nIt works. \n\nAnd it feels right.\n\n—\n\nSo… If *you* struggle with what I’m talking about. \n\nKnow that you’re NOT crazy and you’re NOT alone.\n\nInstead: Give your heart a chance to speak AND your mind a place to wander!\n\nAlso, Streamline is free and open-source. \n\nClick on the link below to download it now!\n\n[🎁

Note](https://github.com/akaalias/getstreamline/blob/main/images/Annotated-Note.png)\n\n### Learn to listen to your heart\nIf you’ve never done stream-of-consciousness writing before, it can seem daunting and confusing. \n\nAll you need to do is write one word that’s on your mind right now. \n\nThere is no hurry. You can type as slow or fast as you like. \n\nWith a bit of practice, you’ll be able to hear that quiet inner voice. \n\nYou’ll see.\n\nYour heart has some really important things to say.\n\n### Learn to love your mistakes\nStreamline is a writer, not an editor. \n\nIt only moves *forward*. \n\nWhen you make a tYpO, there is no DELETE key. \n\nYou can’t change the mistake. \n\nWhat you can do is continue moving forward regardless. \n\nWith a little practice, you’ll start focusing on your flow.\n\n(No worries, you can save your writing to markdown and give it the old editor treatment later.)\n\n### Learn to link a lot\n\nAs you’re writing you can link to a note in Obsidian easily:\n\n- **Enter** linking mode by typing `[[`\n- **Exit** the linking mode with ESC\n- **Choose** a link with your UP and DOWN arrow keys\n- **Insert** the link into your stream with RETURN\n\nIt takes less than a minute to learn \n\nOnce you use it the results are remarkable:\n\nI pepper more links into my journal notes than I do with Obsidian proper.\n\n## What you’ll miss\n\nAgain, Streamline is a writer, not an editor. \n\nIt intentionally only *moves forward*. \n\n- There is **no backspace** to delete a mistake\n- There are **no paragraphs** to get off-track\n- There is **no markdown syntax highlighting** to distract \n- There is **no copy-and-paste** or any other shortcuts\n\nStreamline is free and [open-source](https://github.com/akaalias/Streamline)!\n\n[🎁 Download Streamline for macOS 12+](https://github.com/akaalias/getstreamline/releases/latest/download/Streamline.dmg)\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakaalias%2Fgetstreamline","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fakaalias%2Fgetstreamline","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakaalias%2Fgetstreamline/lists"}
