[ANN] Journalier.jl: Your personal academic newsletter

Hi all,

Like many academics, I’ve been feeling somewhat behind on my reading lately. Since I was also looking for a personal project to work on, I created Journalier.jl as a central hub for keeping up with the latest papers from my favorite journals.

Fortunately, Tachikoma.jl was already available, which allowed me to build the TUI in Julia as well, rather than turning to Python, as would have been my first instinct.

usage example

I think the project has reached a reasonably usable stage, and I figured it might be useful to others, so I thought I’d share it here!

Best,

P.

Cool! I see more and more julia “apps”…

One (general) question.. when I type pkg> app add Journalier, does this installs the package onto my general environment? I would like to keep it clean… which is the favoured way to do it ? I activate a temp environment? I choose a dedicated folder to create an environment for it?
Of course I would still like to have the journalier binary available from the terminal…

One of the benefits of “apps” is that you don’t really have to worry about this: under the hood, app add will automatically create a dedicated environment for the app,as well as a “shim” in ~/.julia/bin which takes care of running the app in this environment. But as a user you don’t need to really know about this, you simply execute the shim and everything works.
