I took a stab at cleaning up my code for BearExporter, a Python script to export all of your Bear notes to Markdown files you can use with Obsidian, read in the terminal, or whatever.

As the old saying goes "it works for me!" but I know it's not exactly great code, but it is available.

I'm not great at Python but I'll try to improve it as time allows.

Yes to Obsidian... I copied the exported Markdown files from Bear to a folder on the Linux laptop and can open & use all the notes just fine.

So the next idea would be to automate the process by scheduling the Mac to export all the files and move them to a volume that Obsidian can use as a vault.

The whole idea here being I can use Bear, but still access my notes while using Linux.

So right now the Python script grabs the text of a note, creates a file with the title as the name (needs work) and then sets the date created & modified time of the file.

So on disk are Markdown files with all my Bear notes. This makes them available as plain text files in the terminal, on Linux, heck...probably in Obsidian as well?

I found a Python script somebody wrote to export Bear's notes from the sqlite db they are stored in and it's not exactly what I need so I ended up writing about 25 lines of my own Python code that does what I need.

It is... rough, but it works! I need to add a few things, like cleaning titles for filename, etc. (The script I found had issues of its own, so...)

I welcome these little challenges to learn more Python though.

I've really come to love Bear and how it works, but with no easy way to get to those notes on Linux I may just end up with a combo of Bear and Anytype.

(I moved to Bear years ago when I dumped Evernote.)

I also didn't find a good way to use Obsidian across macOS, iOS, and Linux.

I've been using Anytype for a few days now. There are things I really like about it (and the org) and I'll probably use it in my workflow (and it will replace Notion) but I'm not sure it'll work for as a general notebook for me.

I really prefer a big blank text area like Bear or Obsidian uses, with really good markdown support. I've not been able to get that smoothly in Anytype yet.

The "everything is an object" just seems more database driven in how it works.

Related to the same (#UX) topic:

One thing that makes me truly giddy with delight as a software connaisseur 😏:

When I'm about to submit a feature request, but double-check whether the software already "does that thing." Only to realize that I simply hadn't found it yet, and that it does _exactly_ what I was looking for.

Only thing missing in today's find (in #ShinyFrog's #BearApp) was a keyboard shortcut, and that's a trivial fix via #macOS's Keyboards settings. mastodon.social/@jochenwolters

MastodonJochen Wolters (@jochenwolters@mastodon.social)I've said this before: For truly stellar #UX inspiration, specifically around #IxD, look to indie developers who really care about their product. And who don't even try to over-sell you anything. Today's example: My screenshot tool of choice is CleanShot Pro. That application has a "drawer"-like window with all the recent screenshots, so you can easily restore them. I wondered if, in addition to click restore, I could just drag'n'drop an image from that window. And it works. It _just_ works.😎

@zceline I switched from Evernote to Bear and have been very happy. Doesn't check all your boxes but maybe worth a look? #bearApp

#markdown was the clincher for me (although tbh their editor is so good I don't drop into markdown as often as I expected to)

And I do pay for the pro version for OCR and sync. But it's been completely worth it for me.

Kudos to the #BearApp devs for an awesome v2. This has been my favorite place to author content and save ideas related to that content for quite some time now, and it's only gotten that much better.

Being able to pick custom fonts is fantastic (finally I can use my favorite grungy typewriter font!), and support for tables and backlinks is most appreciated.

I also use #CraftApp, but mainly for a knowledge wiki. I may start to lean more on Bear now that it's a bit more powerful.

I don't plan to make #BearApp my only (or even my primary) #PKM app, but I subscribed to #Bear as a way of supporting their work.

It's very good for quick capture, and I think it will make a nice inbox for these purposes.

Also good for disposable notes, like those I take when the family decides to order takeout, and everyone hollers, "Mark, take down our orders and call this in!" i need to jot those orders down, but don't need to connected them to my knowledge graph!

Cranked up the #Bear app for the first time in more than a year. Found a trove of old notes on various subjects, from a pack of work-related meeting minutes to notes from a long-forgotten doctor visit.

Finding these felt like finding an unexpected little window into my own life. Funny how much of what mattered once doesn't matter now.

(I was glad to rediscover old #ToRead, #ToWatch, and #ToEat lists, as well as notes on cocktails to try!)

TIL #BearApp is basically NASA approved. Obviously not officially, but.

Apparently some people there requested to use Bear on their devices, so NASA reached out to us to verify various aspects of the app.

Now I want to ask them and find out if Bear has been sent to space. 😄
