Daily Story

Wrote a new script where I can quickly write little stories of what's going on in my life. It's kind of like a little journal. I set the DAILY_STORY_DIRECTORY to a folder in dropbox.

The only thing I'm unsure of right now is I want to use textarea but I don't know how to actually submit what's been typed. Hitting "enter" just (correctly) inserts a newline. I tried ⌘+enter and that didn't work. Anyone know how to submit a textarea?

const today = dateFns.format(new Date(), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
const date = await arg({
  input: today,
  hint: 'When did this happen?',
})
const title = await arg({

const md = `---
