Rusty Journal: A Minimal and Efficient CLI Journal & ToDo App

Hello, Developers! πŸ‘‹

I’m excited to share my latest Rust project: Rusty Journal, a lightweight and straightforward CLI journal & ToDo app for managing your daily thoughts and tasks efficiently.

πŸš€ Features

  • Command-Line Simplicity: Write, list, and organize your journal & ToDo entries right from the terminal.
  • Write, Organize, Repeat: Effortlessly create, edit, and manage your daily journal & ToDo entries.
  • Minimal and Efficient: Focus on journaling without unnecessary clutter or distractions.
  • Rust-Powered: Built with Rust for high performance, exceptional reliability, and modern simplicity, offering a lightweight binary build.

🌟 Why Rusty Journal?

I wanted to create a journaling tool that fits directly into a terminal-based workflowβ€”simple, fast, and effective. Rusty Journal emphasizes ease of use and productivity while showcasing the power of Rust in building practical CLI tools.
