Sleek interactive Floating Journal Calendar and Journal Explorer

Journal Explorer

:notebook_with_decorative_cover: Introducing Journal Explorer: First Release

I’m happy to share the first release of Journal Explorer, a lightweight, sidebar for browsing your SilverBullet journal.

It provides a clean chronological view of your entries, complete with calendar-style icons, inline month separators, and a sticky date header that updates as you scroll. Entries are loaded in batches with smooth lazy loading, while background indexing ensures fast searching across your entire journal over time.

You can filter entries using multi-word search, toggle sorting order, and quickly jump into or create journal entries. Each tile supports titles, snippets, and optional thumbnails extracted directly from your pages.

The explorer is configurable, with support for custom journal path patterns, localisation (month/day names), and UI preferences via settings or space-lua.

This is just the beginning, future updates will expand on alternative views and deeper integrations.

Feedback, ideas, and brutal criticism are all welcome.
