 # Standard(?) Unix Notes
+
+## Introduction
+I have tried a number of different note systems over the years, from online notes to Vimwiki and OrgMode and even just plain old text files. All have their benefits and issues. 
+
+More recently I have taken to GPG encrypting my notes in a process to improve my overall security and privacy. 
+Whilst migrating my passwords into *Pass* the Standard Unix Password Manager I was intregued by the simplicity and ease of use in adding, managing and using passwords under this system.
+
+Then this notes system started to brew in the back of my head. What if I replaced the password functionality of *pass* with a notes system. Sure I could include my notes into *pass* with it's multi-line ability. But as notes were added it would make accessing and managing my passwords more difficult. So I decided I really needed to keep my passwords and notes seperate. 
+
+I decided to take the *pass* shell script and gut it, rename the functions and implement a system to encrypt/decrypt notes.
