Yeah , I understand what you are saying, I think even in obsidian it is not forced on the user (using both filename or full path work). But it is a nice option to have I tend to use folders to organize my notes (as a kinda backbone I can always fallback to when reorganizing) and getting some really long paths as it grows which is problomatic in notes. As for issue of uniqueness, the problems is to simply adding an id to every note, i use base58 converted unix timestamps like this “3dpjXz” it is both short and unique, and one can always use alias for the note to remove the ugly bit from the sigh. I think it best works as a sort of addon tho. I agree that keeping it light and simple is very important. I am still not sure what I am going to do with it. But it is my next step in moving my notes to SB so I am asking question hopeful to find the best solution to it.
