I wanted to work on an are.na replacement and instead I wrote 'goblin.sh', a bash utility for collecting and managing a stash of items (notes, files, or web things).

https://codeberg.org/thgie/goblin.sh

Writing the script made me realize what I liked and disliked about other such tools, and what kind of relationship I actually want with such computing activities.

Much thanks to @anmeisel, who gave a fantastic workshop on the intersection of #Permacomputing, literate programming, and repair manuals. I took 'goblin.sh' with to that event and I was really motivated to rewrite the whole thing and wrap it in a proper README.

Next step, learning Lua!
