Jotting down a new note

In Genesis I remarked that the hardest part of building a new note was figuring out the filename. npm run jot now builds a file titled like this automatically. TIL the date command.

{
  "scripts": {
    "jot": "touch notes/$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"
  }
}

I can now backlink (Backlinks) files with [[]], but I'm not rendering anything yet.

I'd like to now think about what I want to build What I wish this to be

This first note was created by making a new directory, notes, and placing a textfile titled 20201017094627 inside of it. I am typing in it now. Creating the filename was the hardest part, let's build a script to help. Jotting down a new note I am documenting some of the process in Building jot.

Backlinks

Unsure if I'd like to backlink with [[20201017094627]] or [[Genesis]]

Titles should probably be unique, right? Will that cause issue?

I'm thinking when writing on the web, I'll want to hit [[ and autocomplete with a title.

...Why not both?

What I wish this to be

Some of the problems I'd like to solve with notes like these

  • Blog posts have too much ceremony around them
  • Tweets are ephemeral (In fact, I delete mine regularly)
  • I should do this regularly (related to 1 and 2)

From a technical point of view
