A script for tracking nebulous goals from markdown files

Inspired by Beeminding the process of getting engaged, I recently started my first urlminder goal with a Google doc.

But I really wasn’t happy that I had to use a public Google doc, and not my usual writing environment (Obsidian, locally on my machine).

So today I created a Bun script that can run on a local directory of markdown files, check for a specific YAML tag, and push a word count to an odometer goal.

Check it out here: GitHub - mybuddymichael/beeminder-nebulous: A script to push wordcounts to Beeminder goals

Note: I made this based on my own processes and workflows, so it might not be useful for anyone else! But still, feedback and code review are more than welcome!
