Field notes

Folio Writer models a project as a binder of sections, folders, and subdocuments, with a corkboard for rearrangement and a journal calendar for dated entries. Its files remain Markdown or Typst on disk, while the editor renders citations and LaTeX math in place. The workflow also covers BibTeX and Zotero references, tracked .docx changes, snapshots, comments, and compilation through pandoc to PDF, Word, LaTeX, Typst, HTML, or Markdown.
