imag - imag-pim.org

imag is a commandline personal information management suite.

This application is in early development. There are some things that work, but we do not consider anything stable or usable at this moment. Feel free to play around anyways.

What is this / Goal and Functionality

Our (long-term) goal is to

Create a fast, reliable commandline personal information management suite which covers all aspects of personal information management, consists of reusable parts and integrates well with known commandline tools.

We try to implement as many aspects of personal information management (PIM), but re-use existing commandline tools. We do this by tracking/referring to the data the tools create. A user can now link pieces of data (from different tools), tag this data and query/search this data using imag. So imag is more like a data-mining helper than an actual PIM tool, but we implement some of the PIM aspects directly in imag. Parts of PIM (we call them "modules") that are already implemented and basically working:

  • todo (via taskwarrior, we track the tasks one creates in taskwarrior)
  • diary
  • notes
  • bookmarks
  • counter (just an example, nothing that usable)

Helper modules that come with imag but are not "PIM aspects":

  • linking entries
  • viewing entries
  • tagging entries
  • creating misc entries
  • creating entries that refer to files/directories

Building/Running

Here goes how to try imag out.

imag is a suite of tools and you can build them individually. All subdirectories prefixed with "libimag" are libraries for the respective binaries. All subdirectories prefixed with "imag-" are binaries and compiling them will give you a commandline application.

Building

By now, there are several targets in the Makefile, fulfilling following roles:

  • all is the default and builds every crate in debug mode. To build a single module, call make <module>, for example make imag-store.
  • release, as the name implies, builds every module in release mode. E.G.: make imag-store-release to build "imag-store" in release mode.
  • install will install all commandline modules to the default installation root (see man cargo-install). To install a single module, run make <module>-install, E.G.: make imag-store-install
  • bin/lib are separate targets for either building all binaries or libraries.
  • lib-test runs cargo test for all libraries. For testing a single library, E.G.: make test-libimagstore.
  • clean will run cargo clean in every crate. For cleaning a single crate, use make imag-store-clean for example.
  • to build only the imag binary, use the target imag-bin (imag-bin-release for release build, imag-bin-clean for cargo cleaning).

Running

To test out a single module, simply using cargo run -- <options> in the respective directory will do the trick. But you can also make <module> and call the binary on the commandline. For using it "normally", install the binaries as described above, as well as the imag-binary:

$> make install

The installation root of the binaries may not yet be in your $PATH. To see where this installation root is check out man cargo-install. To change the $PATH in bash:

$> PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin
$> imag --help

To test, simply add --help to one of the above commands:

$> imag counter --help

Staying up-to-date

Despite we have a official site for imag, I do not push updates to this site, yet. Anyways, I post a blog articles about what happened in the last two weeks every other week.

You can find them on my personal blog, tagged "imag"

I also post these blog posts on reddit and submit them to this-week-in-rust.

From time to time I publish an article about imag which does not focus on some things that are happening, but rather about something more general.

Documentation

For detailed information, please read the documentation. You can either read the Markdown files or compile it to HTML/PDF using pandoc. Developer documentation is also available online on github.io.

Please note that the documentation is work in progress as well and may be outdated.

Please contribute!

We are looking for contributors!

There is always a number of complexity/easy tagged issues available in the issue tracker you can start with and we are open to questions!

Feel free to open issues for asking questions, suggesting features or other things!

Also have a look at the CONTRIBUTING.md file!
