Nice job! Just noticed—when an item is edited, the edited timestamp isn’t being captured.

This is probably intentional -- if you want to fix a typo or make something clearer that you've already captured you likely want to preserve the original timestamp?

If you want an entry timestamped to your current time, you can make a new entry.

this is the answer :) fixing errors should not alter the timeline I assumed that editing timestamps is also quite problematic since it will break the chronological order of the note
probably, i wonder if there shouldn't be an edited timestamp as well
