Just a big ol’ markdown file

Do you know what I want — what I really really want? A little shortcut on my phone and Mac on the share sheet that does the following: prompt me for a title and a description, smoosh all that together and give me the following:

## [title here](link url)

description here

The dream scenario then would be that it prepends it to a big ol’ markdown file — ideally in Obsidian — but I’d also take a file in a GitHub repo.

“Why?” they scream

I curate The Index newsletter for Piccalilli and each issue is — you guessed it — a big ol’ markdown file. Right now, I store links in a Notion database (👎) and then twice a week, I rifle through them and write a description for each link I select.

That’s fine, sure, but it would be so much better if I wrote that description right after I’d read the article or stumbled across a Cool Thing On The Internet™.

There’s a real problem: I am not smart, actually. Sure, I write CSS pretty good, but this sorta file based stuff is beyond my skillset. I do have a burning desire to get away from Notion too. It’s fine for client work stuff at the studio, but I really yearn to keep things simple as much as possible, especially when I’m sitting back and catching up on my RSS feeds.

Any ideas are welcome. Give me a shout.
