Looks like a nice tool, but it seems to be built around a very specific workflow that you've found works for you.

Personally I have been managing most of my plaintext notes with the minimal tools required to do so: a text editor and a file system. For technical notes about software I add git into the mix[1], mostly as a means of synchronization between machines.

Thanks for the feedback! textnote did start out as a tool for a workflow I found myself using, but at its core is simply opening a templated dated file every day to take plain text notes, which I posted here because I hope it is sufficiently general for others to find use. I also am continuing to work to make it configurable to suit others as well. I'd love to take any suggestions for what you might find useful.

Thanks for sharing your post - I really like the idea of using git to sync/track notes and believe textnote can fit in with that workflow quite well. Appreciate your feedback!
