atom-diary package

Keep a diary in Atom using markup like AsciiDoc or Markdown.

This package allows you to keep a diary in atom - how great is that? It has a nice three month calendar view for easy navigation to past entries and organizes your diary in monthly files.

  • Alt-Shift-d a: Creates a new diary entry for the current time
  • Alt-Shift-d c: Toggles the calendar view
  • Alt-Shift-d d: Opens the diary as a project in a dedicated window
  • Alt-Shift-d p: Creates a "printable" version of the diary

This package is inspired by my Emacs module diary-private.el.

You might want to install the AsciiDoctor preview package for Atom for previewing your diary files.
