Warnings!
THIS FILE IS ONLY FOR LINUX USERS (prefered distro: Ubuntu 17.10 or higher)
THIS NOTE SYSTEM WILL ONLY WORK ON BASH SHELL (default shell for ubuntu, you may find bugs in other shells unless you change the first line of the file.)
DON'T CHANGE THE SCRIPT (Only in case you don't have the default editors who are gedit and nano. In that case, you can either change them, or install the default ones.)
DON'T USE newnote() TO READ NOTES (Same goes for readnote() for writing new ones.)
DON'T JUDGE ME (This is my first shell script.) HAVE FUN WITH SHELLNOTES!!!
