That said, this sort of thing has me wishing for something like to Services support in Windows where that could be implemented as a Service by Notepad and then used in any context where text input is acceptable.
::]ts::{
Send(FormatTime(,"MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"))
Return
}
Medium/Small/Big Big:Medium:Small - No! Bad American!
Big-Medium-Small Big:Medium:Small—Yes! You're now ISO 8601 compliant!
TL;DR:
Send(FormatTime(,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"))For personal note taking, or notes to be shared locally, it makes sense to use your local locale's format.
I couldn't find any simple apple-notes-like app, that is available on all platforms, and allows logging in this style.
my private version of this app has cross-device sync, it's just not fully baked yet since I need to implement some form of signup (google/apple), and there's also the privacy issue people are concerned about which I'm not sure how to address.
If you could make a way to share a note attached to a specific name, it would work very nicely for one usage which needs timestamping I've been working on (which is why I had the F5 thing at the ready), tracking how long it takes to cut a given file on a CNC, then sharing that result.
I could probably do something like that, based on URL-encoding, but it will have a limit of approx ~ 2000 characters
Having the note encoded in the URL would be a great way to share that.
I'll start using it for sharing times of Carbide Motion files.
EDIT: One last feature request --- add an option/UI where a beginning time allotment could be entered (say 60 minutes for a 1 hr. meeting) and the time would be counted down for each entry? and then then time over shown once the allotment was used up? This would seem to match the typical usage of managing notes for a meeting.
For bonus points, add in a way to add hourly rates so that the on-going cost of the meeting will show up? (though maybe that's too cluttered).
