I wrote Denote because I was using a variant of Denote's file-naming
-scheme before I was even an Emacs user. Note-taking is something I take
-very seriously, as I am a prolific writer (just check my website, which

+scheme before I was even an Emacs user (I switched to Emacs from
+Tmux+Vim+CLI in the summer of 2019). I was originally inspired by
+Jekyll, the static site generator, which I started using for my website
+in 2016 (was on WordPress before). Jekyll's files follow the
+=YYYY-MM-DD-TITLE.md= pattern. I liked its efficiency relative to the
+unstructured mess I had before. Eventually, I started using that scheme
+outside the confines of my website's source code. Over time I refined
+it and here we are.

+Note-taking is something I take very seriously, as I am a prolific
+writer (just check my website, which only reveals the tip of the
+iceberg). As such, I need a program that does exactly what I want and
+which I know how to extend. I originally tried to use Org capture
+templates to create new files with a Denote-style file-naming scheme but
+never managed to achieve it. Maybe because ~org-capture~ has some
+hard-coded assumptions or I simply am not competent enough to hack on
+core Org facilities. Whatever the case, an alternative was in order.
The existence of PACKAGE is never a good reason for me not to conduct my
own experiments for recreational, educational, or practical purposes.
