Nice! I created a similar thing for PowerShell just a while back.

function noteit {
  Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$data
  )

  set-variable curdatetime $(get-date -format yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm)
  set-variable title $notes\$curdatetime.txt

  if(Test-Path -LiteralPath $title) {
    #echo $curdatetime >> $title
    echo $data >> $title
    echo "note appended at $title"
  }
  else {
    touch $title
    echo $curdatetime > $title
    echo $data >> $title
  echo "note created at $title"
  }
}
