This is a toy CLI project I made to quickly organize and write down my thoughts and ideas. Ideas can be
organized into colors when prompted for a topic. I purposely related topics into colors as I previosly made a
flowchart of ideas with each subfield relating to an arbitrary color. If this doesn't work for you, you can name
the topic whatever you like. As emphasised, this is a toy project – just for fun! Roughly 80% of the code is
just CLI aesthetics and a challenge to write my own command line cursor with read and
clear bash commannds. Even though it's small, it's proven to be the one program I use daily because
waiting for software like Evernote to load eats at my soul 1 milisecond at a time.
