I took a quick look at sotd.nvim and I might be deterred by the json formatting. Json is great and everything, but that would be pretty tedious for me!
Is there a json tool where you can copy in a spreadsheet and it’ll try and format it for you?
Well, I took another look, and I don’t think neovim is for me. I looked at installing one of the dependencies, and the dependency had dependencies, and I don’t know how to install any of it. Oh well!
The spreadsheet I use is really easy. I can do it on my phone while I’m traveling, too.
I’m also vaguely considering a refactor to use a sqlite file instead of json. I think that would be a better experience, even though the file format is more opaque.
Plus then I could in theory track my shaves in the database and do my own analytics!
Right now I have all of my soaps, blades, etc. in a Google Sheets. I can copy/paste, or export to whatever they allow. Maybe I’ll tinker with it later.

An easy two pass shave tonight. Haverford just felt right for a chilly, dark, autumn evening.
I’m running low on the Haverford EdT and AS samples. I might need to get another Stirling order in the mail…

Something like this might work (caveat that I haven’t tried it)
https://csvjson.com/
You’d lose the blade count tracking though unless you tossed the json back into csv format after each shave.
I wonder how difficult it would be to support csv as a format. Would that meet your needs, or would .xlsx be necessary?

Yeah, this is certainly geared more toward folks who are already using/familiar with neovim.
If what you’re doing ain’t broke, don’t fix it! :)
