Use automatically generated identifiers for note naming #1526
Comments
I've made a pull request implementing this functionality. It is fairly dirty and bare-bones, but it works. #1527 |
Seems like an interesting idea, I've definitely had the need to quickly just write down one off ideas and just wanted to open something quickly and get those thoughts down but to me it seems like your proposal loses the discoverability aspect of neorg. Like would you just have a giant folder with a bunch of timestamps/UUIDs? What would your plan be with those files? |
Zettelkasten ig |
I'm not an expert in the zettelkasten method by any means but isn't the whole point to link thoughts and ideas together? I would think having some sort of descriptive title would help with that. I can imagine having a bunch of random UUID named notes would get pretty messy over time. Again just trying to understand what this workflow would look like and how it can be useful |
I'm quite sure they use uuids though there |
Some use UUIDs or timestamps to have a randomized identifier as the prefix to their zettelkasten notes titles. Others use no identifier or alphanumeric also know as folgezettel. |

Feature description
Most of the times I don't actually care about the file name of a note. I just want to be able to store thoughts and ideas and be able to refer to them in a global scope.
Using identifiers such as
412ee95c-04da-4df7-a990-fb0f6c56509f
or1721422444
(for seconds since the Epoch) could provide a more streamlined experience for some users, considering Neorg/Norg has such powerful linking and searching.This could be implemented simply as an option for the
core.dirman
module, e. g.name_notes: bool
to show the prompt to give the note a name before creating it.Help
Yes, but I don't know how to start. I would need guidance
