For those who like the Roam/daily journal automation, here's a python script for NVUltra

If this ain't useful, lemme know and I'll delete it. It just checks for journal file for today, creating it if necessary, and opens it with an x-url. There's probably a prettier way, but oh well.

I call it using a Shortcut/Siri → "Hey Siri, Journal"

Loving NVUltra!

#!/usr/bin/env python3

 

import os

import datetime

import webbrowser

 

# Get the current date and format it in ISO 8601 format

today = datetime.date.today().isoformat()

 

# Set the directory path where the file will be checked and created

directory = "/Users/user-name-here/Documents/notebook-name-here/JOURNAL"

 

# Set the file name with today's date in ISO 8601 format

filename = f"{today}.md"

 

# a function to open the journal file, launching NVUltra if necessary

def launch():

    url = "x-nvultra://open?notebook=" + directory + "&note=" + filename

    webbrowser.open(url)

 

# Check if the file exists in the directory

if os.path.exists(os.path.join(directory, filename)):

    launch()

else:

    # Create the file with today's date in ISO 8601 format, and a single heading as its content

    with open(os.path.join(directory, filename), "w") as f:

        f.write(today)

        f.write('\n\n# Journal\n')

    launch()

cheers,

Rob
