I’m looking for a knowledge management system, or at least I think I am. Scrolling around in a notepad ++ of more than 300k lines gets to be a chore. Yeah, I document just about everything I do. They say that we never really forget anything, and that it’s our faulty recall system. Well, my recall system is shit. While Notepad++ does allow searching, I guess I’m looking for something a bit more elegant.

I’m looking for something I can dump my notes into a database and be able to search them for a particular command or phrase. I do use ByteStash for all my compose files, but ByteStash doesn’t let me search for commands, or command strings like I keep in my notes, or at least I haven’t been able to get ByteStash to do that. It’s pretty jammy for compose files tho.

Am I asking for too much? Perhaps someone uses something like this for their notes and such or even something entirely different for notes and documentation.

Kind Regards

    Although I call it a “blog”,

    You know, I did have an idea about just such a thing, tho it would be private. I gave your ‘blog’ a bookmark and will definitely check quarto

      There are a few reasons why I really like it being public, even though it means I have to be careful not to share sensitive stuff.

      • It creates a portfolio for me (I’m an undergrad) because I document my projects on there
      • When asking for help with certain complex things, it’s really easy to simply link to my blog, since I document almost everything I’ve tried and why it did or didn’t work. Here’s a recent example
      • I can share cool stuff I have saved, like my lists of learning resources or lists of software, with others easily.
