As someone who still uses a `birthdays.txt` file in their home directory... i fail to see any advantage to this setup. And a significant disadvantage would be losing the ability to tab-complete the note names.

I use a single notes directory and I prefer disambiguation to tab-completion, which I why I built it this way. I guess its advantages aren't universal, but then again what is?

I don't see what the point of this is. Every single command can be mapped to an existing Unix tool.

I wrote about that in the FAQ: https://github.com/posce/posce#why-use-this-instead-of-lsgre...

## Why use this instead of ls/grep/wget/etc?

Posce is one app using one system on one directory. It's a very focused app, and that focus gives it a level of stability and uniformity I enjoy. Also, by using a single notes directory, you can use disambiguated names and get incredible brevity when entering commands.
