Append a message to note

Quickly append a message to a note without opening the file.
Interesting idea! I'm open to this, but I'm not sure exactly what the CLI interface would be. Can you tell me a bit more about what you're imagining?
something like notes add <note name> "<message>"
so a note named 'thingList' that says:
List of things:
* A
* B
* C
You could add to it with: notes add "thingList" '* D'
and the note would look like this:
List of things:
* A
* B
* C
* D
When I pair program we tend to have a lot of ideas that get lost to the ether, it would be nice to have something that I could call from the command line to quickly jot a note without losing the focus of what I am working on. Opening the file can be a bit cumbersome in that regard. I was thinking about adding notes in general as a function set within neovim. For instance if we have a meeting coming up and we have an idea for the meeting we could quickly add it to a list without losing context on what we are working on.
Hi @matttrach, that makes sense thanks, I can see this use case. I think append would be better than add (which sounds a bit like it's creating a new note) but otherwise this sounds great.
Do you want to open a PR to add this? Take a look at https://github.com/pimterry/notes/pull/80/files if you'd like an example of how to add & test a new command.
