I have so much content in my garden now that I want to do some deep data science on it soon :D https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge

Since I started a wiki, I haven't wrote a single post. I think the reason is that writing a 'blog post' feels like too much friction when I can just drop a note somewhere in my corpus of knowledge. Makes it easy for querying too. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge

I use GitBook. It just takes in markdown files and renders it nicely on the web. Scales well with number of notes too. I have over 30,000 lines of markdown thus far: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge

I have a bind (3+n) to open notes.md file in Sublime Text I can drop things into. Although I don't use it much as often I can write notes directly under some topic in my wiki. It usually fits under some of the 840+ topics I have https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM... On mobile, I take quick notes with Telegram's Saved Messages. This kind of question has been asked many times before on HN and elsewhere. Here are some links I collected around note/wiki management. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/other/wiki-workflow#links Oh and for effortless sharing of notes, I use my tool gitupdate to automatically push changes made to my folder of notes. i.e. here is a commit where I add this very thread to my wiki under `wiki-workflow.md` topic. To do it, I pressed two buttons (`+v) (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/bl

I try to read books/papers on mac as it's faster to google and go deep into things I don't get. Select text (a+space and it queries selected text on google). Then it's trivial to open any note (with alfred) from my wiki (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge) & edit it under appropriate topic. On the go, I usually note things down in Telegram saved messages and later transfer it to wiki or turn it into articles. Have macro to open saved messages instantly (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-ios#widgets). Or I just pass it via share sheet. https://excalidraw.com & Figma is also great for visual thinking (tying concepts together). After I read a book, I review it in goodreads and recently realized that more useful reviews aren't just thoughts on the book but are summaries. So I try summarize my learnings from a book there. For ficti

I keep things in markdown files. Private files go in folder that's git ignored. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge

I post all my notes and bookmarks online. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge And access everything super fast too using tool I made. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind

I usually comment with the same thing on these tip threads. And that is learn to rebind your keyboard. Make each key programmable modifier. Open apps, run scripts/macros instantly. My Karabiner config: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... I go as far as binding keys to instantly type `console.log()` or `fmt.Println()` or the other language equivalent with my dot modifier key. Plus typing things like `Thank you` with dot+spacebar press. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab... The other tip that paid off in time is starting a wiki. And building an interface to access contents of the wiki instantly. Wiki: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge Interface: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind

For bookmarks I use a wiki: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge For snippets I use wiki too although a different one: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/code

I'd say it's nice to have a system in place with good tools. i.e. I can open any note page in my wiki in < 1 second. Which results in me having a wiki of over 750 files now with over 18,000 lines in it. All parsed fully for instant access too and public. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM... It does feel nice knowing there are resources for any topic I care to learn about with personal bookmarks and notes on any topic. My note taking system: https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/other/wiki-workflow

All my bookmarks live in my wiki. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/ Searched and parsed with Alfred workflow. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind The bookmarks are links under ## Links heading of any markdown file. Here are few with some links https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go/go-... https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/machine-learning There is lots more. Around 16,000 lines of markdown in the wiki now. Writing the code to meaningfully parse it now. https://mobile.twitter.com/nikitavoloboev/status/12165452379... Here are all the topics included in the wiki. Enough to learn for a life time. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM... Oh and the wiki of course does not include private links. Those live in my main browser (Safari) and
