Hey guys!

New scripts: https://github.com/benevidesh/zettelmaking

What is new? A script named zex (for zettelExplorer) that makes interactive real time queries trough your notes. Check it out!

Hi! Thank you for sharing these scripts, they are powerful and minimalistic.

I've dockerized your scripts to freeze nvim/tmux configs and to implement automatic git syncronization: https://github.com/m-danya/dockerized-zk. Maybe one day I will hybreed your fzf-based approach with vimwiki plugin, which have nifty links displaying.
