I’ve been thinking of how to organize my information lately and feel like going towards a wiki may make sense.

I have a bunch of quotes, book reviews, lists of sites, course notes, and other misc info. Right now it’s pretty spread out among gdrive/keep/notion/onenote/ticktick and probably more.

I don’t think I’ll ever be at a point where it’s all consolidated in one place but as I’ve started to edit Wikipedia for fun I’ve realized how beautiful wiki software is. In my case, it wouldn’t be collaborative but the ease of use, nice version history, search ability, flexibility are all so nice.

So long story short how do you organize info you want to keep around?

    I use this https://obsidian.md/

    I like it because it is a lightweight editor/viewer, uses regular markdown + easy linking syntax so I can write a note and link another note like [[this]]

    I just keep a Syncthing folder with markdown files. Things like favorites.md, a folder with essays, etc. Its a nice way to do it because its cross-platform: I use Markor on android, and vim on desktop. So copying to/from all these platforms is really easy because pretty much everything is in markdown nowadays.

    And for things I want to share with the outside world, I just put that file under version control and push it to github, gitlab, etc.

    I’ve really tried to get into org-mode and vimwiki as all-around organizers, but they aren’t easy for me to work with on android too.
