suggestion: split files

Open persianphilosopher opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

This is merely a suggestion, but I would like - with the permission of @captbaritone - to bring it up here.

I would love to be able to have a way to separate files on Dropbox, rather than having a long continuous one.

The primary objection - beyond the very obvious technical ones - could be that it would spoil the simplicity and efficacy of this gorgeous project. Opening that door, I admit, could then lead to more granular demands, such as folders/tags/archive/etc.

So, to be clear, I am not hoping that markdown.today should become a full-fledged CMS or a replacement for "Paper &copy";. But one of the strengths of this project - in my mind - is that I can access my work so quickly on Dropbox. I even take cursory notes online when I know that I could flesh them out later, in the file, if needed. If I could have slightly more control over the storage, this would go from being a daily companion to perhaps my daily driver.

Thanks for reaching out! Just to clarify, what exactly would be the right use case for you?

  1. The ability to have multiple markdown files on Dropbox, some of which may not be in a Journal format.
  2. The ability to split your journal across multiple files, perhaps one file per entry.
  3. The ability to have multiple daily journals, each identical to the one that Markdown Today currently creates.
