Personally I have my own Dokuwiki personal wiki served locally on my machine where I keep anything of interest to me and serves as my own personal knowledge base. I might release it to the public one day I’m not too sure.
But I’m curious to know if any of you folks here maintain your own personal knowledge base and if so what software do you use for it?
I actually just use a plaintext file, which I write in the OrgMode-format, so I can use an app on my phone.
I have all my tasks, notes and reminders in the OrgMode format, too (in different files), which works better for me than having everything in different applications.
It’s just less formats to wrangle with, less work to sync between devices, less places to search through and less friction for e.g. making a KB entry out of a note.
The big downside is, of course, that it’s not some fancy KB software, so you can’t link between entries, and images aren’t really a thing and so on.
I guess, it depends on how much information you want to gather. I’m generally happy with a few words and a link, so this setup works perfectly fine for me.
Org-roam mate.
It provides the linking and visualization of your data :)
