I used to do this but that made it harder to search on the occasion I'm looking for a prior note.
I do everything in vim and it's more keystrokes to search across separate files.
I've been using one file for 2-3 years now and it's only 1mb.
- quesera 3y agoI do the same in vi/vim/neovim, in a custom filetype with syntax highlighting for TODO items, status markers, tags, code blocks, etc: "my/work/xxx/201810.notes" 34502L, 1946600B written 5.5 years on this particular file, but I've been using the same system for at least twice as long as that. The datestamp is the most recent time I thought it might be useful to rotate into a new file. It was not! I find it much more convenient to have everything in a single topic-based file, although I do separate personal from work, and employers from each other.
