;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package provides a simple note-taking application which can be
;; invoked from anywhere in Emacs, with several interactive
;; note-taking functions included.
;;
;; As is tradition for my software, the idea here is to reduce
;; friction which I see even with tools like `org-capture', because
;; `org-mode' does a ton of things I don't care about.
;;
;; Notable stores its notes in simple JSON files in the folder
;; specified by `notable-note-dir'.
