Replace cobra.OnInitialize with PersistentPreRun pattern to fix initialization issues with setup and server commands. This follows Cobra best practices and allows subcommands to properly override initialization behavior. Problem: - OnInitialize runs globally before command parsing - os.Args check for 'setup' was fragile and broke with flags - Setup wizard failed on server: 'unable to open database file: no such file or directory' Solution: - Use rootCmd.PersistentPreRun for initialization (inherited by all commands) - setup and server commands override with their own PersistentPreRun - Directory overrides still applied correctly in all cases - Removes fragile os.Args parsing Benefits: - Works regardless of flag order - Follows Cobra's intended design patterns - Only 3 files modified (root.go, setup.go, server.go) - Commands that need custom init (setup/server) simply override - All other commands get automatic initialization - Cleaner, more maintainable code Testing: - ✓ opal setup works without initialization errors - ✓ opal list initializes database correctly - ✓ First-run detection still works - ✓ Directory overrides work with flags in any position - ✓ Server command handles its own initialization
Notr
Simple Go application for organizing and referencing notes. Loosely based on Obsidian.
Implementation: See jade-depo/ directory for the CLI tool.
Workflow
I take notes in two primary ways:
Phone
- Quick notes, on the go.
- View and search notes.
Workstation
- Using NeoVim for notetaking
Other infrastructure
- I host a VPS with a Nextcloud and Gitea instances.
What I want
- A Obsidian Vault like structure. A folder where notes live.
- A file is a note
- Can also store attachments, such as images. These files can then be referenced in the relevant notes.
- Directories is the main organization method, although tags and links can seam-lesly cross directories boundries.
- Markdown syntax (this can be handled by NeoVim and a markdown editor on other devices.)
- Tags: Syntax +tag
- Note links for referencing other notes or any other vault files. Syntax uncertain. Obsidian uses ?
- See reports about the vault. Tag report
- At some point I would like to have a web-app and host it on my server. This would integrate with my authentik service for auth, and would be a live view of a users vault
- OCR would be great.
Implementation
I have a tendency to scope creep and never actually getting a usable product, so an important goal here is practicing getting a usable app up and running. This should not have to be the biggest project, so I'll try to predict the process:
Version 0.1
Here I use other tools for the note-taking and accept that any searching is on a directory basis only.
- I create a directory in Nextcloud. This I will start using immediately.
- Find a good Markdown editor for android.
- Adopt any crutial Obsidian notes
Version 1.0 ✓
This is where I can use Notr to find and search notes on my workstation. CLI implementation complete!
- Process notes. Metadata and diffs
- Search and Filter by tags
- Search and Filter by content
- Add, edit, delete notes
- List all notes and tags
Version 2.0
Here I can do the same on my phone.
Also:
- OCR
Metadata approach
Multiple approaches possible.
