About

mds is a cli tool for

  1. navigating a collection of markdown notes
  2. creating new notes and linking them together. Notes' metadata and inter-note links are stored outside of them in .sqlite database.
  3. opening [description](links) found inside of markdown notes
  4. jumping to these [description](links)' location in markdown in editor (if one needs to change them)
  5. etc.

It links to external tools, such as bat via config.

mds works with any dumb editor. It doesn't require editor to have any kind of rich plugin system.
