Alfred My Mind

Alfred workflow to search through my notes and bookmarks

This workflow lets you search through entirety of my personal wiki. There's over 100,000 lines of markdown with many links inside. This video showcases the workflow in action.

Install

Download workflow from GitHub releases.

See here for instructions on fixing permissions in macOS refusing to run Go binary.

Setup

The workflow is written in Go and uses AwGo library for all Alfred related things.

It uses modd and Alfred command to ease its development.

Run

1. Run alfred link (makes symbolic link of workflow directory)
2. Run modd (starts a process that automatically builds the workflow with alfred build on any changes you make to .go files, this builds and places a binary inside workflow directory.)
3. Make changes to code or modify Alfred objects to do what you want! Open debugger in Alfred or run the workflow with workflow:log passed in as argument to see the logs Alfred produces.

Contribute

Always open to useful ideas or fixes in form of issues or PRs.

Can open new issue (search existing issues first) or start discussion.

It's okay to submit draft PR as you can get help along the way to make it merge ready.

Join Discord for more indepth discussions on this repo and others.

alfred-my-mind's Issues

add notes

Search through my GitHub Gists using GitHub API

See if I can also copy content of it with a modifier key.

Search through all links inside # Links in wiki

Have a command to parse and cache all links inside # Links of all wiki entries and then let me search through them. Effectively becoming my bookmark manager.

Allow to make full text search across wiki

 write auto updater

Write script to prefix entries from heading

i.e.

## Go
- [Go Code Review Comments](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments)
- [Performance without the event loop (2015)](https://dave.cheney.net/2015/08/08/performance-without-the-event-loop)

The script would do this:

## Go
- [go: Go Code Review Comments](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments)
- [go: Performance without the event loop (2015)](https://dave.cheney.net/2015/08/08/performance-without-the-event-loop)

Download and cache the summary.md

Download it from GitHub and cache it for some time.

Parse Karabiner map

Update links to remove .html and remove words as GitBook does

i.e. instead of https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/macOS/apps/karabiner/karabiner.html return https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/macos/macos-apps/karabiner.

On GitHub repos searches, query Travis to see if the build passed or not, also open Travis page with modifier key

improve parser so books and courses are fully shown

parse markdown files instead of maps

Focus on speed.

• Make Go Fast first then this

Try parse websites.md

Annotate main entries with subtitle in code

Building workflow generates undefined variable errors (aw.IsRunning, aw.RunInBackground, updateAvailable, link)

When trying to run

alfred build

on the repo the following errors are generated

./update.go:19:29: undefined: aw.IsRunning
./update.go:23:9: undefined: aw.RunInBackground
./update.go:40:9: undefined: updateAvailable
./wiki.go:25:14: undefined: link
./wiki.go:31:25: undefined: link

From what I understand the first 2 undefines are related to changes to the AwGo library and changing it to wf.IsRunning/wf.RunInBackground seems to do the trick.

For the 'undefined link' they seem to reference the Link struct defined in line 11 of wiki.go. Changing the two references to 'Link' also seems to fix the issue.

However I can't seem to figure out how to fix the 'updateAvailable' error short of removing the entire 'Icon(updateAvailable)' line.

Let me know if I should do a PR for this or if I might be able to help in any way.

rewrite it in Go

Alfred your mind?

Hi Nikita,

For other people that create their own mindmaps. How difficult would it be to create an alfred-your-mind where it would be an interface to their mindmaps created with mindnode?

Thanks!
Marc

Search my Trello boards

Parse this.

Add ability to go inside a wiki entry and search all the links in # Links

consider using markdowns for some entries

This opens it up to contribution

Parse my MindNode maps

Write MindNode parser first.

• Should capture links from these maps where appropriate.
• Should allow for full text search in other cases.

Get rid of old JS stuff after adding the parser in Go

split my mind into go fast and mind

Search across maps for full text

I want to be able to search through my Karabiner and macOS maps and quickly know what binding does what and what hotkey does what.

Allow workflow use with remote knowledge repo. Cache and pull it.

Feature ✨

Use cache dir when cloning knowledge repo.

Then pull in background on calling workflow at internal. Have variable that points to a local path to opt out of using the remote cached version. For my own personal use.
