I've dedicated Sublime Text specifically for my development notes. I use a single folder in my home directory for all these notes. Every new tab gets a timestamped name and this directory assigned (Yes, my sublime's default behaviour is now this), so if I save it, it goes there.

I also have a shortcut to save all files at once, which is great because I end up with a lot open by the end of the day.

It helps keeping track of info I might need later, like backups, text transformations, optimizing DB queries, curl calls, less important passwords, refining emails with LLMs, drafting prompts, etc.

I love how fast my workflow is now: just switch to sublime, open a new tab, type away, and hit `CMD + Y` to save all at the end of the day or week.

For lookup: Mostly, I remember a few keywords and search across files. They're timestamped, so they're sorted in the sidebar (e.g., `2025-03-20_11-02-15-77dee966.txt`).

Shoutout to Odatnurd, who helped me code the plugin and live-streamed it (link in the forum): https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/how-to-auto-save-unsaved-tab....

Things I wish I had:

1. Structure (A scrollable view, with expandable notes, date range picker, better search)

3. Encrypted backups

I find that there are different kinds of ways in which I think of notes (or note types):

1. Dev notes (scratchpad)

2. Thoughts and logs (don't lose it, when did that happen)

3. Long notes we study/review (lecture notes, obsidian)

I feel Notetime is great for [2]. It's a great idea for building a similar sublime plugin.
