+### The idea
+
+config file in json
+
+requierements neovim, nvim-tree, vivify, vivify.vim
+
+1. launches a TUI
+- asks if you want to open an already existing directory (by default in ~/Documents/Notes but can be changed in the config file) or create a new directory
+(this would work like Obsidian's vaults)
+when it creates a new directory creates a Welcome.md explaining
+
+2. launches nvim inside this dir with nvim +:NvimTreeOpen + way to open the Welcome.md (or by default first file?)
+3. launches the viewer with vivify
+some way to specify the browser
+
+
+
+things to do:
+1. port vivify.vim to nixos
+
+
+
+
+a option to make a file a journal. --> the code will append the file with ### and the date. and when nvim opens the file it will go to the end
+
+a way inside the json to modifiy the welcome.md
+per vault config inside the json file
+a tui configurator that writes to the json
+an option or save in another part for backups (like periodically just put the directory you want to save in config)
+
+later to port it to Nix
