I really don't get it, one can simply open a README.md or TODO.md and litteraly do the same thing - taking notes - without installing anything.

  You certainly can, the point of this tool is to automate some of the workflow around managing notes as markdown files. With devlog you get: - custom templates for three different common document types(todo, notes and development logs) that you can pre-populate with whatever format you want. Populating it with questions has been useful for some of my users who use it as a way to quickly reflect on what they've been doing. - automatically timestamps the document so you know when the document was written and it makes sorting through notes easier. - tagging: this makes grouping and searching for documents much easier - configuration: from any directory in your OS you can type a single command "devlog" and have a new document generated to a directory you want. It's written in golang and incredibly lightweight as well so the "installation burden"is very low.

    > - tagging: this makes grouping and searching for documents much easier Does tagging syntax target some form of static site generator? It would be cool if was configurable for Hugo, Jekyll and others.

    I'm all good about the single binary for installation and I understand the concept better now for achieving the same level of documentation in any project.
