Nice, and I like the idea that the past is fixed, but ... is there a way to define the point of rollover to the next day? My "days" sometimes end at 0:50 for example and not at 23:59. So I might summarize the day a bit after midnight.

Good idea, I can do that!

  • If you want to avoid too much choice, but still want the "the past is immutable" feel, you can prevent editing after noon next day or similar.

    • Days "roll-over" when you sleep, so it should be safe to rollover notes which haven't been edited for 6 hours. That way there is no fixed rollover time.

    • Having the default "midnight" be something like 3AM would get you 90% there without any UI changes

    • Many lootbox phone games do rollovers at 4AM local. Your sleep cycle would be seriously broken if you're awake 4:00 +/- 0:30

    • I just use a .org file, with git to retain old versions if I edit something that might be of later relevance.
