Day, Dusk & Dawn cats. The idea seems something out of Issac Asimov's foundation.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Try turning a patch of the garden into the same symbol!

Origin story of Electro from Spiderman just made a jump from fantasy to science-fiction!

Here's my implementation from 2014 that let's you spawn more ants on the grid. http://code-art.chintanghate.me/LangtonsAnt.html

I am glad it's being useful. :)
I used AppleScript for the first two years of this app as well (Can't believe it's been 7 years since I started it). But it's hard to handle complex programs, and handing off data to Swift or Objective-C from AppleScript. So I switched to [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge). It provides better Objective-C APIs to handle Apple Events.

I have published an app [Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12) that does something similar - exports Apple Notes to HTML and markdown with the attachments. Give it a try, let me know if it solves your issue.
Also, why did you select JSON as the output format?

That’s an amazing initiative. Best of luck! :)

+1 to a vacation. And after that rather than going after what's in demand/hype right now, go after something that you want to use and isn't available in the market, and try to build that. I have found building tools for myself that I and a bunch of other people love to use as one of the most rewarding/fulfilling work.

Not a technical skill, but in the self improvement genre - Colin Murray’s channel https://m.youtube.com/@colinmurrayYT/videos is great for people who like exercising from home, without investing a lot in equipments and weight. Has helped me exercise more regularly compared to past years.
And then for one of my hobbies https://m.youtube.com/@idaemonplasmo for building better model kit aircrafts.
Not sure if they are masters of their craft, but they make their craft more accessible/enjoyable for me.

I remember seeing it years ago, still amazed by it. What's even cooler is that it was created almost 10 years ago and I believe it hasn't changed much since then. You can read about it [here](https://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/)

Go for boring descriptive names that create a cute acronym. Win-Win!

From version 3.0, you can export notes to HTML format as well, which can also be imported back into Apple Notes with formatting and attachments preserved. Attachments (PEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF & BMP files) are supported Catalina onward.
