I'll be happy to! Unfortunately I'm not able to always follow this list,
so if possible, please let me know when you have something I can try
out.

Thanks! I've found that without instant/near-instant search the chain of
thought breaks easily (Thanks, ADHD!), so this one is quite important.

Sounds good!

Yes, but from your other email it appears this one is not going to
happen due to previous Emacs versions not having built-in sqlite. Have
you thought of any alternate way for achieving same performance without
any built-in database?

While single default file sounds good, individual daily files are better
IME. Because the single file inevitably becomes too large, unwieldy and
generally not the best place to go through quickly.

Thanks! Hyperbole has been really good experience so far, because of
practically zero config and batteries included approach. Better
integration with stock Emacs stuff like Org, Gnus and Dired is always
welcome.

Thanks a lot for working on Hyperbole and being responsive!
