when I found the dmenu_notes idea on the "bread on Penguins" You
Tube channel I thought it would be handy to have a way of sending
notes to gopher...

then I see she's also added a "rsync" feature which I've shamelessly
borrowed:

====================================================================

#!/usr/bin/env bash

folder=$HOME/notes/

newnote () { \
  name="$(echo "" | dmenu -c -sb "#a3be8c" -nf "#d8dee9" -p "Enter a name: " <&-)" || exit 0
  : "${name:=$(date +%F_%T | tr ':' '-')}"
  setsid -f "$TERMINAL" -e vim $folder$name".txt" >/dev/null 2>&1
}

sync () { \
    rsync -rtu ~/notes/* cloud:/srv/gopher/notes && notify-send "Notes sync completed"
}

selected () { \
  choice=$(echo -e "Sync\nNew\n$(command ls -t1 $folder)" | dmenu -c  -l 5 -i -p "Choose note or create new: ")
  case $choice in
    New) newnote ;;
    Sync) sync ;;
    *.txt) setsid -f "$TERMINAL" -e vim "$folder$choice" >/dev/null 2>&1 ;;
    *) exit ;;
  esac
}

selected


=======================================================================


works ok - adding the note to a directory on the gopherhole "Notes"
