In the early days of Agaric, [ben](http://agaric.com/mlncn) posted every error message, search query, and hare-brained musing to agaric.com. Under editorial pressure from collective members this was exiled to [data.agaric.com](http://data.agaric.com/), built by worker-owner Kathleen Murtagh in the then-new Drupal 6. Eventually ben internalized some sort of standards for publication, and the pace of posting dropped off— his incessant notetaking found a home in a local, unshared wiki-like notes application for GNU/Linux, Tomboy.

The These notes were hard to share, however, so we've gone to a middle ground of taking notes locally in Git and publishing using GitLab Pages.
The hard part for making it anywhere near as easy as Tomboy, which auto-titled notes, was making it so that typing out a file name to create or save a note wasn't necessary. The [Save as Heading package gave us an easy way to save files in Atom](https://agaric.gitlab.io/raw-notes/notes/2018-06-24savingfileseasilyinatom/), so we went with [Atom](https://atom.io/) despite its non-negligible resource usage with tons of notes.
