This is third in the series of that announcements. Cerveau is the web frontend for Neuron + GitHub + your notes. This blog post also briefly goes over the tech stack used in the project. I wasn’t sure how detailed the post should be, but I can talk about anything specific if anybody is curious!
I am not sure about the definition of “future-proof” here.
To me future proof notes means that it is highly likely I will be able to comfortably use them in the future, when the technological landscape has changed significantly.
For that, I would prefer if the markdown files were named <date>-<title>.md Probably with spaces exchanged for underscores. So to create the one from 2020-09-03, one would do:
vim 2020-09-03-Cerveau:_a_future-proof_web_app_for_notes.md
This format will likely still be easy to use when the technologies involved (I see you mention Neuron, GitHub, Haskell, Javascript, Websockets …) are not in use anymore.
You can already create notes with that filename (except for the colon) in neuron. It expects your notes to be little more than a directory of .md files. Even regular Markdown links work, although users typically use [[..]] style links.
Looks very cool. I work on Notion; building a sync service to git/github is one of my top personal projects once the API comes out. The Haskell architecture looks very cool; I’ll certainly check out the sync logic when I start in on this myself :)
Just to give some context. I announced Neuron here a couple of times:

[[..]]style links.The reason neuron uses random IDs by default is because, then you are not forced to think of a suitable slug when writing a new note. A note’s title may change in future, so could a slug. But of course, users can use whatever ID/filename they want - I do just that in https://alien-psychology.zettel.page/ / https://github.com/srid/alien-psychology
I see. Thanks for the clarification.
