1. Overview

Zet is a simple zettelkasten interface implemented in weewiki.

Compared to the wiki, zet is more granular. Instead of hypertext documents connected by links, you have things connected to things. It is encouraged that information be more atomic and bite-sized.

The zet will occupy a new SQLite table called "wikizet". Like the main wiki, it too will have a key/value schema. The difference in this case is that keys will not be unique. This allows one key to point to multiple things.

A key is expected to be a uuid following the uuid4 specs. This is generated courtesy of the uuid4 library by rxi. the values are strings that can mean any number of things based on the first character:

a "#" indicates that reference to another uuid. this is how connections are made.

a "/" inidicates the start of a file such as /foo/bar.txt. The intent of this is to use it with sqlar as a way to reference and link files into weewiki.

a "!" indicates a reference to a wiki page. This follows the adopted convention I've been using to reference wiki pages in my twtxt messages.

a ">" explicitely indicates a string value.

values in the zet table optionally include a timestamp value. This allows the zet to be used as a logging and microblogging interface along the lines of twtxt.
