nikki

"Record something new learned every day of the year."

Track newly learned things

In Japanese, "nikki" means "daily journal". The idea behind nikki is to record one thing you learned today. If all goes well, you've got a 365 line journal formatted in Markdown and ready to be posted to your blog on January 1st next year. The months are H1's and every day in the month is part of an ordered list. The journal file is saved at ~/.nikki_#{year}.md.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nikki'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nikki
