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

    Can you be more specific about the features you’re looking for?

    Well, so far, of those I’ve tried that were recommended in this thread, something along the lines of what I posted further down: https://lemmy.world/post/30511835/17370680. I like the way I can search Obsidian and it gives me the left hand side with all the choices, and highlights the selected choice. Sometimes I can only remember a part or work I’m searching for, so having a multitude of choices ready for me to choose, is very nice. I haven’t tried all the recommendations here, and I haven’t settled on Obsidian, but so far it’s checking a lot of boxes.
