It also relates to stoicism, more specifically the practice of becoming aware of your irrational reactions and impressions.

I was also looking for a way to better visualize text as a set of notes while still using markdown and .txt, then I came up with the idea "Sticky notes + Markdown + Tabs, All in one .txt file"[1].

It's nothing fancy, just a prototype using electron and vanilla javascript, but it might be useful.

Not yet but it is definitely on my list.
I have thought about an eventual web version but more as a visualization tool for sharing files over the internet.

The idea was to be an offline-first app for privacy reasons, but I'll take a look at the file system support in the browser extension API, it might be a more accessible alternative.

I'm sorry, I will add some instructions on the readme file.

Right now you can download it from the release page (https://github.com/zonetti/zonote/releases/latest). Then all you have to do is to extract and run the binary.

I'm afraid there is no way to do that right now, but it does sound like a good feature to be added.
