This is a neat theme and site. I have a a google doc called “unix commands” that I just add stuff onto. It started as a text file in my home directory 30 years ago and has grown to pretty much any snippet of code. I control+F to find stuff and that works ok. I’m not sure the level of effort to reformat to this theme would pay off in benefits of easier search and reuse.

All notes in my theme are essentially markdown, so you'd have to convert what you've got. There would be an up front cost, but I think that the benefit might be worth it. Having said that, as you can see by the discussion on this thread, each person has their own preference for how they keep notes.

Two things I look for in a note-taking app: - How quickly can I create/update/delete - How easily can I search and read I love how you have solved the second part. I have to ask, how do you handle the first part? Do you keep one editor always open to quickly edit the markdown files?

We’ve got an app we’re building, currently in alpha, that is tuned for both of these requirements. It is also super easy to get started. Try it out at https://NoteBrook.app early access code ALPHA2020. The version in production right now has real time sync, full text search, and heirarchical tags for organization. Note creation is super streamlined and on mobile you just hit enter 3 times at the end of a note to crea…

Sure, I signed up. Trying it out!
