Overview

settle was designed with the Zettelkasten method in mind. It works primarily
with Markdown.

However, there are a few differences from most other Zettelkasten apps, and that
stems from the design principles:

  - settle is made for humans, for a pleasant
    note-taking experience
  - settle only manages notes, not editors:
    settle is a mere note-taking assistant, it doesn't handle file editing
  - what you see is exactly what you get: all metadata is stored in the notes
    themselves, and none may be added or removed by using commands, which makes
    the database a mere convenience - all metadata is inferred from the
    filesystem.
  - projects are only used to formally separate Zettel, but there
    isn't any hard boundary - any note may reference any other note
  - links between Zettel are wiki-style links, which
    are extremely straightforward.
  - no two Zettel should have the same title, even if they are in different
    projects. This is only to avoid potential ambiguity with links.
