This is neat! Can you tell me how you got around to building this and what it's most useful for? I'm not a programmer but I've been thinking a lot about migrating out of Evernote to Roam or Notion and this made me think of that.

Thanks! Glad you think so. I've found it's most useful for workflow documentation and code snippets.

The main reason I built mmap is I started a new job a few months ago which required learning a ton of new workflows that leveraged a bunch of unfamiliar technologies. Documentation for these was scattered over github, confluence, google groups, etc. which made it both time consuming and difficult to find what I was looking for.

I wanted to be able to save documentation and code snippets in my own words so I could quickly find it without switching windows. It's lead to a noticeable jump in my productivity so far.
