You certainly can, the point of this tool is to automate some of the workflow around managing notes as markdown files. With devlog you get:
- custom templates for three different common document types(todo, notes and development logs) that you can pre-populate with whatever format you want. Populating it with questions has been useful for some of my users who use it as a way to quickly reflect on what they've been doing.
- automatically timestamps the document so you know when the document was written and it makes sorting through notes easier.
- tagging: this makes grouping and searching for documents much easier
- configuration: from any directory in your OS you can type a single command "devlog" and have a new document generated to a directory you want.
It's written in golang and incredibly lightweight as well so the "installation burden"is very low.
I'm all good about the single binary for installation and I understand the concept better now for achieving the same level of documentation in any project.
