I tried vimwiki for a while but I found I used a tiny subset of its functionality and couldn't get it to respect my choice of syntax highlighting for markdown. It set me off in the right direction though.
The fact that it's _just_ a directory full of markdown files allowed me to easily migrate to my own home-grown setup that reimplements the three keybindings I actually used.

Could use some advice for managing projects in a way that fits my mental model and codebase. Monolithic codebase with project files spread around different working directories. Or just help me change my mental model.

> I can rebuild my configuration(Aside from some fussy embedded toolchains) in half an hour or so. VS code, a few different linters, swissknife, stack tabs, timestamper, indenticator, pylance.... done.
I can clone my dotfiles repo[0], run a single command that installs all my dependencies[1], another that links my config and I'm done. That gives me a fully-configured neovim with all my plugins (thanks vim-plug) within 2 minutes.
