Having a template engine should be standard in all operating systems. It should be possible no matter where you are located or what you are doing to render out a template and get back the resulting string of text in a way that you can use it to accomplish the task you are doing. #

I think that maybe I've found the solution to the notes shouldn't have titles, but actually sometimes they need titles problem. Instead of a full on title, which looks weird next to a bullet point, just use bold text for the start of the sentence.
I noticed Politico does this in their newsletters and I think it looks quite nice. Sort of breaks up the wall of text, giving your eye something to focus on as you skim. I did it with the previous note. That one actually turned into a blog post. So that was quite nice. #

The thing that's very silly about all this overthinking of notes and titles and blog posts is that although it's definitely freeing to just start writting without worrying about a title, I do sort of end up creating a title anyway when I commit the file to the git repo.
For example the previous note item had commit message "Just use bold" and I'll probably call this one "Overthink silliness". So perhaps having to come up with a title isn't so difficult. Or maybe it's just that since the emphasis isn't on the title, it ceases to be a problem. If I really get stuck I could just not enter a commit message. No big deal. #
