I'll wait a few months and then check in again.

It stores all metadata in YAML frontmatter and doesn't cache in an SQLite blob? I bet that decision will be reversed pretty quickly once people try to migrate a 10k+ note collection and want to do operations like search immediately instead of scanning every file to build an in-memory cache.

    You're right that all metadata lives in markdown frontmatter, but it's not uncached. The notes list also only reads around 2KB frontmatter, so it stays fast well past 10k notes. We do have some tweaks planned though to optimize this even further. This is a great suggestion, thank you!
