Description
Hi. As i currently understand it, Sticky currently saves all notes within a single json file. I was wondering if you would be willing to implement a feature where the notes could be instead autosaved to a text file on disk, along with the ability to refresh the notes on any external changes. This would allow notes to be synced using common filesystem based sync solutions such as Syncthing, Nextcloud, Dropbox etc.
I have some code that can actually implement this, from my own work on a small notepad app so I'd be happy to work on a pull request.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review Sticky’s current JSON persistence first, then define the text-file format, autosave behavior, and handling of external changes; done means notes can be synced through filesystem tools without losing updates.
