gollark: Another one of the inspirations which fed into the utterly nonexistent idea of minoteaur I have in my head is Standard Notes.
gollark: Oh, and a full text search index obviously, although ripgrep *is* pretty fast on plain text files.
gollark: Well, I had various very approximate ideas: tags, including some sort of "smart tags" thing; first-class storage of inter-note links, possibly with associated data of some sort, for cool visualization things™; possibly even associating arbitrary key/value pairs with notes for processing.
gollark: And calling out to git for revision history would be utterly.
gollark: I thought about that, but I wanted revision history and rich metadata.
