* Stitch - Note Composer
+"The explanation is obvious. The Garden of Forking Paths is a picture, incomplete
+yet not false, of the universe such as Ts'ui Pen conceived it to be. Differing from
+Newton and Schopenhauer, your ancestor did not think of time as absolute and
+uniform. He believed in an infinite series of times, in a dizzily growing, ever spreading
+network of diverging, converging and parallel times. This web of time - the strands of
+which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect or ignore each other through the
+centuries - embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some
+you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us
+exist. In this one, in which chance has favored me, you have come to my gate. In
+another, you, crossing the garden, have found me dead. In yet another, I say these
+very same words, but am an error, a phantom."

Stitch is a minimal grep-based CLI tool for composing and viewing notes and
TODO notes. It is built around the idea of writing notes separately and
then using tags to compose these notes together.
