Can't you store the meta-data as a YAML block like how for example pandoc uses for several of its output formats?

- genjipress 5y agoSure, I can do that. The problem is what to do if I want to mass update the metadata across an entire set of documents. It's just easier to do that with a DB.
- jjjbokma 5y agoThat's very true, thanks for explaining.
- knazarov 5y agoThere is an alternative: you can use a MIME envelope to store notes. This way you’ll have a plaintext container and a way to attach files in a portable way. I’ve built a note taking system based on this idea: https://github.com/knazarov/notes.sh https://github.com/knazarov/notes.sh
