nb

Last updated on 22 September 2024

As of September 2024 I use nb [1] as my primary note-taking and knowledge management program.

Install

On a Mac, it can be installed from Homebrew: brew install nb.

Set nb directory

I sync my nb documents via Syncthing, and therefore need the tool to use my Syncthing directory as its "home": nb set nb_dir ~/Syncthing/nb.

Migration from Obsidian

To migrate my notes from Obsidian, I created the top-level directories (which nb calls "notebooks") in ~/Syncthing/nb and copied the .md files from Obsidian into the appropriate directories.

I tidied some recent notes and added tags to the ones I'm currently working on (or for ongoing projects) to enable quicker discovery later on.
