I suck at taking notes, I try using paper and then I need to move it to my desktop to work on what I've written, I end up opening random text editors to take down notes.
Each day I open ironotes, it sees there are no entries for today, so it starts a new file as DD-MM-YY.
I then happily work on this until I realise I need another note for the day, perhaps an idea has come to mind.
I then press CTRL+N, which opens a new document, saves my current one then I start typing away.
"But wait!" I hear you cry, "what if I need to search my notes?" Well my friend, if you press CRTL+F you can fuzzy search through all your notes, you can then CRTL+UP CTRL+DOWN, to navigate the results, then CTRL+L to load the selected doc as shown below:
I'm learning it, I needed a note taking app. That's all there is to it, do what you want with it. The emphasis being on "I'm learning it" if you want a feature, cool, go ahead and write it, if I also want it then I'll probably do it.

You will be asked which dir you want your files to be stored in, this by default is $HOME/Documents/ironotes
You can drop other MD docs in here if you want and they will also be searchable.
I wanted everything to be keyboard controlled, I will likely implement this to be changeable soon:
