The Markdown Database Pattern ¶
wayofmarkdown.com
Problem: You want content that is both human-readable rich text and structured queryable data — without locking yourself into a platform or sacrificing the simplicity of plain files. Solution: Treat a collection of markdown files as a database. Each file is a record. Frontmatter fields are columns. Directories are natural groupings — tables, if you want them to be. Tags, links, and tasks embedded in the document body become additional queryable relations.
It's markdown files all the way down...might as well have them organized for portability. Helpful guide.
