molly

glue together the matrix and org-mode. built with matrix-nio

Project Summary

• Send your thoughts to a matrix channel! Its easy, its everywhere, and its plaintext.

• Convert individual messages in your matrix channel into todo items in orgmode

  • Assumes the same sorts of things as other mobile orgmode solutions, a mobile-refile.org file, that sort of thing.
• Eventually, come back on your main computer and refile shit accordingly.

Project Outline

• Be able to write orgmode from within Python

  • Write basic todo entries
  • Add meta data (when was I captured, etc)
• Be able to read matrix messages from within Python (use matrix nio, apparently its the Approved Shit now https://github.com/poljar/matrix-nio)
• Make E2EE work; supposedly that's doable with this bot.
• Clear out the unnecessary parts of the template I copied
• Add back in the tooling improvements

• Improve orgmode integration

  • Have try/except blocks, verify that the path exists, make it if it doesn't, etc etc etc.
• Probably need to write one or two lines of lisp to help the end user not keep the refile buffer open; that'd just get in their way.

• Package using Pypi

  • Eventually I'd like the option of deploying via ansible with the community playbooks, so also build out a Dockerfile.
• Add an ansible-playbook for deploying via matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, if they'll have me.
• Use all the same packages i'm floating for developer standards at work:

TODOs

• setup all of this stuff

  • Precommit (for all your commithook needs)

    • On initial setup you likely want to run a new config against all files: `pre-commit run –all-files`

  • Black + commithooks; feel free to tweak line settings

    • Black is still technically pre-release; install like `pipenv install -d black –pre`
  • Mypy + commithooks
  • Pylint / Flake8; feel free to tweak line settings

  • Pipenv (bluh. I guess this is what work is using, so, fine.)

    • append installs with `-d` to add them as a dev dependency
  • Pytest + unittest.
  • Add on pydantic to mypy
  • Futz with mypy's config to require declaring types

  • Python versions with pyenv

    • This is pretty easy, though its a very stupid curl | bash. Fuckers.
    • Also some annoying prereqs that you need to be careful about; some Mac specific fuckery.
• Look into alternate methods of revert buffer per: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/3609/can-i-set-a-particular-file-to-automatically-and-silently-accept-changes

Editor bullshit

• Get LSPs shit working with my new setup:

  • auto detect pyvenv
  • resolve imports
  • etc
• make magit play nice with pre-commit hooks

Making this work

• Get a user created that you'll use its ocredentials for.

• Get the room ID for the room you want to use.

  • you can find this in the advanced settings for a room, generally.
• Fill out the config.yaml file appropiately.
