I created a github repository[1] for my personal knowledge base. There are other people doing this too[2]

#32Very cool. My thoughts went to the series Buckminster Fuller did called “Everything I Know”. [1]
What inspired you to do this?

#33Really cool project. How do you differentiate between things that have been too internalized/are too obvious and things that are worth writing down? i.e. you don't have a section for basic algebra, because I can only assume you know that pretty well.
In similar vein to this tweet (https://mobile.twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/10272457592326...) I mostly try to organize files by topic. Some topics I didn’t come across so have no notes/links to share. Other topics may be included inside other files.
Before starting this wiki, I already got some experience in organizing and visualizing knowledge in some way with the Learn Anything project.

I wrote about my inspiration of starting both Learn Anything and this wiki in 2017 as a journal entry in the wiki itself.

#35This is pretty comprehensive. How do you manage to capture learning across devices? For instance when I find some interesting link on my mobile, I read and save it to Pocket but I don't like typing on mobile so I don't capture the gist of it like I do on desktop. And now my Pocket items are so bloated that I have no idea how to organize.

#36Some more interesting discussion on personal wikis and workflows: https://lobste.rs/s/ord0rg/does_anyone_else_keep_their_own_k...
Why are those called wikis? “personal wiki” sounds like “collaborative website but with only one user”.

Probably because the term "wiki" is now also used for any website being made using a wiki engine.

I try to process everything on my macbook as I am much faster on it. So usually I send myself stuff to Telegram’s saved messages and process it later on mac.
I also use Ulysses on the phone in cases I need to make quick edits. More details here:

#39This is very cool. I am working on a similar project since past 2 weeks but also plan on providing the resources(at least those which I think worked very well for me) to readers. It is kind of a no-nonsense guide to learning anything. Very inspired by this. Thanks
Re: Show HN: Everything I Know Wiki
#40Back when I was getting my degree and was reading & writing a lot I got really enamored with the idea having an extensive repository of everything I had read or learned or simply come across and found interesting.
There are all sorts of software packages designed to facilitate this, I used DevonThink for a fairly long time. However, it never turned out to be nearly as useful or fulfilling as I had imagined going in and truth be told I just couldn't maintain the self discipline that the curation requires.
So now I have this ginormous unused data store that I don't want to mess with but nevertheless still can't bring myself to delete.
