I’ve been looking for work!

But to pass the time, I’m also working on a personal journal that keep S-expressions in a database with a well-defined schema set by the other nodes of the database (imagine tiddlywiki transclusions everywhere!)

The idea is to have a bunch of adaptors for Google Takeout, Apple Notes, Obsidian, Apple Health, fitness tracking, org-mode, location history, etc. keep all my data there in well-defined formats. I could then also use the markup language I’m writing to present my journal data in various ways.

My main focus is on efficient data entry/ingestion powered by schema-as-data, which allows for machine and human readability.

I don’t expect it to be useful, but I’m having fun. If I wind up getting anywhere, I might open source it.
