Filing Stories from the Terminal

One thing I wanted Postbox to do: let me capture ideas without leaving my terminal.

When I’m deep in a coding session and have a thought worth writing down, context-switching kills the momentum. Opening a browser, navigating to a UI, clicking buttons — it breaks the flow.

The Solution

I added a Claude Code command that lets me say:

file this-post.md on postbox

That’s it. Claude reads the file, extracts the title, and creates a GitHub Issue in my inbox. I can clean it up later in the web UI.

Why This Matters

The best capture system is the one you’ll actually use. For me, that’s the terminal. Everything else is friction.
