takenote

A terminal-based note-taking tool powered by a custom Unix-like file system implemented in C.

Overview

takenote is a lightweight CLI application for managing notes through a structured, directory-based workflow. It is built on top of NoteFS, a custom file system engine that models notes as files within a hierarchical tree.

The project combines low-level system design with practical usability, providing both a functional developer tool and a demonstration of core file system concepts.
