I was surprised while I was developing this package how little code was needed in the end to write the functions, once the markdown data is extracted from files. md -> HTML -> ASCII was the hairy part but the results from html2text look great. The html2text config options aren't well-documented - there was a lot of trial-and-error.

File system properties do seem like an intuitive next step to extend the metadata 'getter', as the pathlib.Path objects are easily accessible. I was aiming to bring timestamps in but realised that the timestamps aren't available consistently in Linux, so I'll need to think about a cross-platform design.

FrontMatter is a good shout, I haven't used any in my notes, hopefully that content can be parsed neatly.
