Overview

Alexandria is split into three parts that work together:

1. Core (Rust)

   • The engine that stores and organizes notes and tags.
   • Handles properties on tags and fast search.
   • File‑first storage so your data stays in plain files.

2. Core CLI

   • A small command‑line tool to use the core directly.
   • Create, tag, and search from your terminal or scripts.

3. Desktop app (Tauri)

   • A modern UI that talks to the core.
   • Everything you do in the app uses the same core logic.

How they fit together

• The core exposes the operations (create, tag, search, etc.).
• The CLI calls the core for terminal workflows.
• The Tauri desktop app calls the core for a visual experience.

This means features are consistent across CLI and desktop, and your files stay portable.

Why this design

• Reliability: one core, fewer bugs.
• Simplicity: small pieces, clear responsibilities.
• Portability: files are easy to back up and move.
