## What it is
A Vim/Neovim plugin that brings Notational Velocity-style note-taking to the editor, where searching for a note and creating one are the same operation. It uses fzf (with ripgrep) to fuzzy-search plain-text notes across configured directories and create new notes from unmatched queries.

## Use cases
- take plain-text notes in vim with instant fuzzy search
- create a note by searching for a title that doesn't exist yet
- search and open notes from multiple directories without leaving vim
- replace nvALT with vim-based note management
- quickly filter markdown or text notes with fzf

## When to choose
- you live in Vim/Neovim and want fast plain-text note search and creation
- you want nvALT-like behavior with splits and Vim's editing power
- your notes are large plain-text files that other note apps lag on

## When to avoid
- you want a GUI note-taking app with rich formatting or sync
- you don't use Vim/Neovim or don't have fzf and ripgrep installed
- you need structured note databases or mobile access
