As I was reading Charles' article I was amazed at how similar the hack that I did a few
years ago was to what you describe under Obsidian. Basically I have a git repository that
contains a stack of markdown files arranged as `.../<topic>/<article.md>` A later enhancement
was to move to `.../<topic>/<article.(md|yml)>`. As Charles wrote, handling YAML files
allows me to add structure such as referee's notes. My end goal is to have integration with
the Book 6 System generator that I wrote. The whole thing is a tiny Flask Application since
my main hacking tool today is Python.
