tagcloud(1)
β¨ NAME β¨
tagcloud β it visualizes your notes as a tagcloud, bestie π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
tagcloud [ -p | -f ]
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so listen. tagcloud lets you visualize your tagged notes as a cloud β yes, an actual cloud, a vibe, a whole aesthetic π. Here's the tea: it spins up a simple web server and shows you a webpage where you get to pick which textfile to build a tagcloud from. cute, right?
But β and this is the important part, no cap β if you wanna make a cloud out of more than one textfile, you're gonna have to use the -f option on the command line. The web page can only do one at a time, so multi-file energy has to come from the terminal π«Ά.
Once you're in there, you can click on tags to pull up the notes, and you can also search the fulltext of all the notes πβ¨. So satisfying.
Now, the tagging system? Every tag has to be marked with an "@" prefix in the textfile. Literally just an @ and then the tag name. For example:
"Rock Paper Scissor Lizard Spock @tbbt"
see how @tbbt is just vibing there at the end? that's the tag π. iykyk.
π OPTIONS π
-pβ sets the port you want the web server to run on π₯οΈ. the default is8080, so if you don't say anything, that's where you'll find it.-fβ lists the textfiles you want to visualize in the tagcloud πβ¨. this is your girl when you've got more than one file and the webpage just won't cut it.
