I had a similar idea that I would just add daily notes to in markdown/tex to add to a knowledge graph, but then I lost motivation.

I just started using the iPad to make handwritten notes. What I really want is a way for the handwritten stuff to be integrated into a knowledge graph, or even automatically generating tex/diagrams for me.

On top of that, daily scribbles don’t necessarily go anywhere, or are even wrong, so it can generate noise anyway. What was more valuable was consolidating a few weeks+ of progress into a more complete summary or set of notes. You can still explain the reasoning of how you got to something finished, but it’s just all correct.
