This is awesome, love the sense of humor and just downloaded it and started adding data.

Only small piece of feedback is that I would use `$VISUAL` when opening the editor. When I tried to use `Ctrl+e` it opened nano which I haven't used in ages.

Edit: Oh looks like you use `$EDITOR` - I just didn't have that set. Awesome!

These are the projects which make me love Show HN!

Thanks for the feedback!

Did you hit this in the Docs open flow?

micasa will call xdg-open (linux)/open (mac)/cmd (windows) when opening a document, but there's nothing that's explicitly opening a text editor.

Sorry for the late reply, this was for when you're adding a renovation for instance and there is a section for "notes" - you can hit `ctrl+e` and it will open in an editor.

Looks like it doesn't register `$VISUAL` but does use `$EDITOR` not sure if that is a `xdg-open` behavior though.
