**The Plain Text Life** was [an article by Mark WK](http://www.markwk.com/plain-text-life.html), but it's more or less a philosophy I've come around on in my own terms. [[My Notes]] are a dedication to a plaintext-backed system. My [[PDW]] has been written[^1] to enable portability, one of the first things I built was methods to convert my entries between [[CSV]], [[YAML]], and [[JSON]]. Plaintext is about keeping things simple, because [[Simple is Maintainable]]. It avoids lock-in. It maximizes interoperability. It's the best. **** # More ## Source - Originally a post from MarkWK ## Related [^1]: Although I've since migrated back a single Google Sheet
