add timestamps to note file names #30

Closed lukesmurray closed 4 years ago

lukesmurray commented 4 years ago

Currently we use sluggifying. For example @note🚀 will sluggify to note. I propose adding a numeric date in the format to the beginning of the filenames YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. The benefit is being able to sort files by date created. Also all notes would have an implicit ordering if they are sorted by name in a file system.

The numeric data should be invisible from within the notes. We would have to rethink getting document uris from wiki link references but that shouldn't be too hard. Also would have to think renaming.

closing this.

Instead I added a date field to new notes.

I actually prefer the cleaner URLs and autocomplete without the date.

I use dates when necessary to differentiate.
