In plain words

This is a command-line tool for capturing notes and reflections in Markdown format. Designed for users who prefer working in terminal environments, it streamlines the note-taking process for those already comfortable with command-line interfaces. The application stores content in Markdown, making notes easy to version control, edit with standard text editors, and integrate into existing workflows. It's suitable for developers, writers, and anyone who works primarily in the terminal.

    Hi HN, This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back. I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal. Very much a work in progress.
