Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Looking to reboot my PKM system. Been using Apple Notes but I’d like to upgrade to something that’s a bit better for sharing resources out of it!
Main use cases (besides the usual): sharing teaching strategies, keeping coaching notes, and also preparing RPG materials!
