The Three-File Strategy: How Thought OS Optimizes Git Storage

Thought OS employs a deliberately separated three-file architecture—structure.json, notes.json, and files.json—that fundamentally improves how Git stores changes and manages memory. This design ensures that small edits create small deltas in Git history, preventing repository bloat that plagues most note-taking applications over time. Understanding this architectural pattern offers valuable lessons for designing scalable, efficient content management systems.
