1.3 The journal

Daily notes at Logs/yymmdd.md — chronological time headings, no separators, captions as callouts.

1.3 The journal

One file per day, entries stack chronologically, nothing wraps them. A diary
any tool can append to with a single rule: add a time heading, write.

The file

  • Path: Logs/yymmdd.md — 260615.md for June 15, 2026.
  • Created from a template when missing: standard frontmatter
    (tags: [log]type: notepublish: false) and a day title (# 15 juin).

The title rule

Every entry is its own time heading, appended in order — no wrapping
sections, no --- separators:

Kind Heading Then
Generic entry ## 14:36 the text
Project journal ## 14:36 #standard the text
Photo ## 14:36 ![[…jpg]], then a > [!caption] callout

Photo captions

A caption is an Obsidian callout of type caption, directly under the embed:

![[260615-150210.jpg]]

> [!caption]
> Le jardin après la pluie.

Why so strict

Appending must be thoughtless — from Obsidian, a CLI, a phone, or an agent.
A fixed path pattern and a fixed heading shape mean every writer produces the
same file, and every reader (including Reveal‘s
photo-to-journal pipeline) can parse it without heuristics.
