I love working with neovim and i do all my programming with it for more than 20 years. I often struggle to "move my life" to neovim. For example, task management apps are both on my phone, my laptop and web if i need them.

How do you guys work with neovim on other non-programming related tasks and still manage to keep everything in sync?



Obsidian.nvim (https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim) has been working really well for me. I use Obsidian mobile app (it’s not the best in this space, but still very good). And on my laptop, I’ve got neovim - getting to the daily note is one key combo. It’s also super fast and syncs using Obisidan Sync (or you can do your own).


Eschewing the need to sync everything was the best adaptation of my workflow. Instead I just transfer stuff to central repositories. My notes are version controlled with git and pushed on a server. Then I used the working copy app on my mobile devices to view them. On the latter, I mostly do transient note taking, and more often than not, I just message myself on WhatsApp. For something like a grocery list, I do them with Reminder.app When I’m back again on my computer, I write down what I want to retain.


Neovim was started 9 years ago..


Perhaps GP started with archaeovim ;)


Well, you got me there... I worked with vim and 2-3 years ago moved to nvim. The transition has been so smooth that I often confuse the two without noticing :)


Personally I use insync to sync my notes to the cloud, and then sync them to my devices with similar apps for android.

Then it's just finding apps for editing the notes; everything from neovim on termux to just using Obsidian as a frontend is viable. But mobile is kind of a bad platform for plain text editing imho.
