Moving back to plain text files (Git-backed markdown) instead of using a self-hosted Bookstack instance for my personal memory/wiki has been very rewarding. The data feels much safer with less moving parts, and I've expanded the collection dramatically now that I can store code files in there too. Been meaning to write about it.

@Wojtyr my favourite tool so far for this is Obsidian. Very customisable with tags, links and back links, and then the myriad of plugins.

I use Readwise Reader to save and highlight articles, pdfs, etc, and sync those to Obsidian. Amazing Marvin to manage projects and tasks.

One day I'll write a post or series on productivity for architects and developers, but I'm sure it will apply to many others. #oneday

It’s fascinating how you can use technology to create “second brain”, “personal cloud” or “external brain” that is available almost instantly almost all the time.

At the same time it’s so frustrating it is so hard to build a system that would leverage that technology and fit your workflow, your habits and your mind - fit you.
