OP here.

When I started building this a year and a half ago, this was my plan. Since then, (1) there has been an explosion of note apps and (2) I realized that I do not really feel enthusiastic about building out commodity features needed for that. Instead, I am slowly building for myself, experimenting with different ideas and workflows[1], and sharing them on my blog, with the hope that someone else picks them up.

Alternatively, if I wait long enough, the "note app" part will become a commodity itself, and I can implement the interface/workflows on top of it. Quarto[2] looks promising in that regard. Their visual editor[3], which is used in R Studio, is really good.

interesting – hadn't heard of quarto before. I dabbled some with building a wiki on top of jupyter lab (1) but have never really gotten beyond the yak-shaving step in the note taking domain. What few notes I do have I throw together in vim and grep for if needed.

Looks like agoose77 has continued implementing some interesting extensions towards a hybrid literate programming / Zettelkasten environment for jupyter though (2), may be worth checking out given your interest in quarto.

Hah! I saw that repo but there was only a README and I didn't dig deeper. Good job!
