About:
Eureka is a command-line interface tool designed to capture, organize, and store fleeting thoughts or ideas directly within the terminal environment. It eliminates the need to switch contexts to external note-taking apps, streamlining the workflow for developers and power users. The tool persists ideas locally, ensuring quick retrieval and maintaining focus on the task at hand.

Key Features:

Terminal-native workflow for rapid idea capture
Local storage of ideas for privacy and fast access
Simple commands for adding, listing, and managing thoughts
Minimalist design that avoids context switching

Use Cases:

Recording bug fixes or feature ideas while debugging code
Jotting down meeting notes or action items during terminal sessions
Storing one-liners, shell commands, or snippets for later reference

Alternatives:

nb – A CLI note-taking tool with more complex organization features like tagging and notebooks, whereas Eureka focuses on simple, rapid capture.
vim / nano – General-purpose text editors that require manual file management, while Eureka provides a structured workflow for idea capture.
