@crazylemon yeah, I mean, I'm going to use a notebook because I'm deeply in love with notebooks, but this does seem like the sort of thing where an ongoing file would work really well. editing is definitely an advantage!

you could always encrypt it - idk about other systems, but ubuntu had a really easy to use encryption tool which would let you encrypt anything in a directory. computer security is kind of the worst in so many ways, but it's better than nothing.
