It maybe not relevant here, but after googling for a long time, I still can't find the right solution.

Emacs24.5 was installed from macport on Mac OS X 10.10, Emacs daemon is started with
/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --daemon

then try to edit a note, there is an error says:
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".

for me at least

the current

(defun geeknote-create-old (title)
  "Create a new note with the given title.

TITLE the title of the new note to be created."
  (interactive "sName: ")
  (message (format "geeknote creating note: %s" title))
  (let ((note-title (geeknote--parse-title title))
	(note-tags (geeknote--parse-tags title))
	(note-notebook (geeknote--parse-notebook title)))
  (async-shell-command
   (format (concat geeknote-command " create --content WRITE --title %s --tags %s"
                   (when note-notebook " --notebook %s"))
           (shell-quote-argument note-title)
           (shell-quote-argument (or note-tags ""))
           (shell-quote-argument (or note-notebook ""))))))

fails with

python ~/.emacs.d/opt/geeknote/geeknote/geeknote.py create --content WRITE --title emacs\ vs\ vim --tags '' --notebook ideas: exited abnormally with code 1.

removing --tags seems to work though obviously without the tagging feature

(defun geeknote-create (title)
  "Create a new note with the given title.

TITLE the title of the new note to be created."
  (interactive "sName: ")
  (message (format "geeknote creating note: %s" title))
  (let ((note-title (geeknote--parse-title title))
	(note-tags (geeknote--parse-tags title))
	(note-notebook (geeknote--parse-notebook title)))
  (async-shell-command
   (format (concat geeknote-command " create --content WRITE --title %s "
                   (when note-notebook " --notebook %s"))
           (shell-quote-argument note-title)
           (shell-quote-argument (or note-tags ""))
           (shell-quote-argument (or note-notebook ""))))))

macOS Sierra 10.12
geeknote 2.0.11
python 2.7.10

I think it makes more sense to convert the xml flile to org-mode markup and back again. Org supports encoding of all of the XML and all of the features (e.g. checkboxes/tags etc) that are in the source.

Would you consider switching to geeknote fork? The project is actually maintained and bring several improvements. There are just a couple of modifications to implement in the API. I could prepare a PR if you are interested.

First of all, I think this should be implemented in geeknote to for broader audience. However, would it be possible to walk note tree and edit notes like ranger command-line file manager?

Essentially it will be very cool to do like this:

• List notebooks/stacks
• Jump to the output buffer
• Hit l (lowercase of L) for goto sub item
• Hit j goto item below
• Hit k goto item above. Or go up one level if it is the topmost one already.
• Hit h go up one level (parent item)
• Some other editing commands: create item of the same level, edit item, delete item, move item, etc.

I configured geeknote-command with:

(setq geeknote-command "/home/steven/repos/.pyenv/versions/2.7/bin/python /home/steven/repos/.pyenv/versions/2.7/bin/geeknote")                                                                                             

..and geeknote-find returns the command not found error.

Is there a workaround?
