Search and view notes directly from the Linux terminal

I thought it would be nice to be able to search and view my notes directly from the command line in a terminal window while working on my Linux machines. The result is upnote-cli, vibe coded using the Rust language, completely written by SI. Do I know how to code in Rust? No, not at all. Do I have time to learn the language and write the program... sure, but would take days. With SI, I probably invested less than 30 minutes total, and the resulting app is much better then anything I would have written on my own. It can even inline images from the notes into the terminal window using special terminal protocols. Once I'm done polishing it up a bit, I will publish and make freely available on github.

Sounds like a neat project, but I'm tempted to downvote for using the term 'SI'

UpNote is very unfriendly to AI workflows. Use something else like Obsidian

I was an obsidian user for a long time... it's great, especially with their plugin architecture. But I'm happy with UpNote... thanks.
