Oh thank the stars!
> Do note that I believe the current plan is to have two-way sync between files and the db, so presumably custom modification of md files should still work fine. But we'll see how that evolves.
Perfect, fingers crossed. There was a submission Trying TinaCMS a couple months ago that mentioned what sounds similar & ideal to me, Keeping flat files as a source of truth then having a projection of those files in a DB for faster querying. You can just throw the whole DB away & TinaCMS will rebuild it as needed. I love this approach as a way to give everyone what they need, fingers crossed we see similar here with by beloved Logseq.
