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
This isn’t exactly what you want. But I use a static site generator, with a fulltext search engine (that operates entirely locally!), called quarto. (although there are other options).
Although I call it a “blog”, it really is more of a personal data dump for me, where I put all my notes down and also record all my processes as I work through projects. Whenever I am redoing something I know I did in an old project, or something I saved here (but disguised as a blogpost), I can just search for it.
Here is my site: https://moonpiedumplings.github.io/ . You can try search at the top right (requires javascript).
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
