gollark: <@!293066066605768714> Are *you* aware of non- or less-bees languages I could use?
gollark: Short heavily crosslinked notes indexed with a unique ID/name.
gollark: I read about Zettelkasten, it inspired some of the possible things minoteaur would eventually get maybe.
gollark: highly advanced user interface™
