Barbucket is a utility for catching thoughts before they skitter away—like quick-access virtual sticky notes, but without the hassle of setting up organization. Here's how it works: there's one script that's designed to capture ideas as quickly as possible, and another to view these ideas. Great for those one-liners you'd put on Tumblr if you had a Tumblr account. Inspired by Pinterest and its browser extension for quick saving.

Designed the banner for the README and SoM page! side note does anybody actually know how to properly use the filter editor in Inkscape or are you just supposed to stack effects until it works

Just wrote a setup guide! Now, I'm probably going to have someone else install it without explaining anything, and iterate on the README based on their understanding of the app. I'm also going to make a banner for the SoM page :D

I just finished the collection viewer! It allows you to pick a board and then view all elements in it, and quickly copy them. I was originally going to have adding, editing, and deleting—but it felt unnecessary considering it's just raw text. If you really want to mass edit the thoughts, just open them in a text editor, right 😅? Next is writing the setup guide, and after that, bug fixing.

I just added support for command line arguments, that let you set a given location (and even text, if you want) for a thought, so you can skip the board/collection selection. The reason it's done in the command line is so you can make a bind send all output to a specified file if you want.

Okay, I just finished the prototype for the shortcut. Pretty much all of it is subject to change, but I'd say I'm quite happy with how snappy it is to use. Maybe not as fast as a CLI (future idea?) but I'd say its looks makes up for that. I'm using a tool called zenity for the GUI and it is unbelievably easy to use. Next, I will probably make more modifications to this shortcut and start working on the viewer. Also I will get started on the installation instructions/installer for it.
