Writing, people and tags

Entries are plain Markdown in plain files. People and things are tagged differently, because they are different.

Entries

Write in Markdown. Each day is stored as a plain file in your iCloud Drive, readable in any text editor, with or without Muninn.

@people and #things

To a computer, Marcus and Paris are both a string of letters. To you, Marcus is a friend and Paris an experience. So people get an @ and places and things a #: @Marcus, #Paris.

A sigil only counts at the start of a word, so an email address never becomes a person and a link with a #fragment never becomes a tag.

Promoting a hashtag

Journals from Day One and other apps only know hashtags. Muninn can promote a hashtag to a person across all your writing at once. On twelve years of diaries it takes a few seconds.
