Can't you just use Obsidian and edit the MD files directly in your terminal? I know Obsidian isn't open source, but as long as the files are MD and I can easily take them with me, I don't really care.

Yep been using it for a few years. It takes a little bit to get used to, but if you like to take notes in Vim already, this is a nice tool. Auto obfuscates that you use it in Bash history if you follow the directions.

if i want to write up something in the terminal, nano is more than sufficient

It's not a text editor in it's own right, you can use it with nano. It's simply a tool to help create and format journal entries. I'd assume you can set a directory they're stored in, and then use the command from anywhere, but didn't dig into the documentation just yet. It can also handle encrypting those entries if you choose.

I dunno, maybe just let people have nice things? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
