Per-file markdown notes in Neovim, but vimwiki and neorg already do this.

Strengths
  • •Zero database dependency—just markdown files stored at project root
  • •Floating window UI integrates cleanly with existing Neovim workflow
  • •Simple lazy.nvim setup with minimal configuration options
Weaknesses
  • •SHA256 hashed filenames make notes impossible to browse or search manually
  • •Neorg, vimwiki, and obsidian-neovim already solve this with more features
Target Audience

Post Description

Hey,

I made my first NeoVim plugin which is a note keeping plugin. It creates a note for respective file and stores the notes in .notes/ directory in the same level as .git, if there is no .git directory it creates .notes/ directory in the current directory. Notes are saved as markdown files and name of the note is the sha256 hash of the path of the file.

Its a simple plugin, Im trying to learn more about NeoVim and Lua in general so any feedback is appreciated.

Thank You!
