ive been working on a personal notes system which replaces some of Obsidian's functions just using posix shell, and some userland tools.

what ive got so far:

alt-n in the terminal opens a fuzzy finder for note titles.

cntl-r in finder switches to ripgrep to search note contents.

enter opens in neatvi.

while editing, meta-alt-r opens ripgrep search in dmenu, selection basename is piped to clipboard with [[double bracket]] enclosed links, which can be pasted in the editor, and followed with 'gf'.

i can search for note names, or note contents, and search for phrases in other notes while editing, and insert relevant links. just fzf, dmenu, ripgrep, and a couple of posix scripts are used.
