Then when I import notes I can foreign key reference them back to their containing folder. I'm tempted to use `rowid` for the foreign keys because the official IDs are pretty long. | {"total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | 1617769847 |
