My nascent android version of markdown-neuraxis is now pretty snappy at hunting down markdown files and showing them.

Grab the apk here if you want to kick the tyres: github.com/timabell/mar...

1. Discuss & research design with Chat-GPT
2. Get ChatGPT to write up and ADR
3. Download it as a markdown file and check it in to the git repo
4. Get claude code to implement it
