PRMA::Files As Metadata Format
prma.dev
File structures with simple contents can be used instead of YAML, TOML or JSON. More effectively!

YAML and TOML suck. Long live the FAMF!

    I like this … a lot.

    Is it new?

    If there isn’t even a todo task manager that handles notes this way, it is. Because man are there myriad implementations of that stuff.

      And like you said: all tooling for files works for this … For example I use F2 (highly recommended btw) for bulk editing filenames based on regex patterns. This could easily used to edit metadata in bulk.

        Oh goody! F2 is great, but the developers are craaazy! They packages commandline Go application with npm!

        I also like vimv and vidir for simpler stuff.
