Welcome to geekbook documentation!

G33KB00K - 🤓 eXtreme eXtendable note taking system for nerds/geeks (including scientists!) (= beautiful html generator of your markdown-based notes) docs: http://geekbook.rtfd.io

Marcin Magnus (mmagnus) & Pietro Boccaletto (akaped)

The code of the project can be found at GitHub (https://github.com/mmagnus/geekbook).

A neat way how to combine Emacs/Atom/Sublime editor + Markdown Syntax + Git + Html engine (bootstrap/python) to get the best notes-talking experience ever. Highly customizable with plugins written in Python. What’s the most important, under the hood it’s just a set of Markdown files.. you can do with them whatever you want, e.g. you can Pandoc (http://pandoc.org/epub.html) them to epub (that’s origin of “book” part of the name).

The preview of the default template:

Features:

  • Index html based
  • Sync them with Dropbox/iCloud/github
  • Read from console, grep them
  • Edit with almost any text editor, I’m using Emacs!
  • Keep images separately, edit them in any external tool or edit them in batch
  • Customize html templates
  • You can sync notes in your system with notes kept at virtual machines (mounted via sshfs) or drives
  • Super light!
  • Pandoc markdown files to anything you want!
  • Use 3rd party editors, if you wish, on your computer or on your phone.

I recommend to use Emacs (or VIM or other super-powerfull editor) to:

  • run git on your notes in your editor,
  • grep them in the editor,
  • make bookmarks to parts of your notes,
  • copy-paste from your notes to your programs you’re writing,
  • use Google Translate (https://github.com/atykhonov/google-translate)
  • ispell,
  • outline mode,
  • focus mode.
