Working Notes: my commonplace notebook for recording & exploring ideas.

A meta-post to think through software for writing, and mechanisms to organize the writing.
Thinking through this a little bit more, doubling down on the markdown extension for sqlite and adding support for blocks seems like a no-brainer to follow through on.
Ideally, I want to be able to easily query notes as if they’re a database, search for terms, find context (parent blocks), look at all links in the site, etc.
I just received access to Claude Code, and decided to give it a spin by converting the existing Zig Code to modern C: so far, I’ve been pretty impressed. Even if it doesn’t actually manage to make it work, it has given me a very solid skeleton to build off of.
Generally, the way I write my notes and want to review them involves breaking things out by a collection of topics / ideas I’m working through, and breaking down by time so I can easily return to where I was.
Basically I want something like time based blocks of text with versioning and interconnection; that I can easily rearrange in ways that makes sense to me and look for connections (preferably automatically).
knlb.dev is a good way to try and make this real.
