This have me a hairbrained idea for a browser extension that drops every web page you visit into a private Lucene database.
My problem with a lot of services listed below, is they all eventually go away, and all your data is off somewhere else. Unless you store your data locally in a human readable format (markdown) you are just putting all your data into a system that WILL go away at some point in the future. Google has already had 2-3 services to manage your data that they have closed down. Maybe they are the ones that taught me not to…
Maybe I could host for others sometime if there were sufficient interest. And/or move it to sqlite.
The holy grail [ https://beepb00p.xyz/pkm-search.html#future ] of this really resonated with me and fully mirrors what I've been thinking about the past few months. In my observations, it's input capture, information organization, and subsequent retrieval: Information Capture: Input Capture - You’re going to have all-encompassing tracking and recording of all activity, but want configurable privacy on the extent to w…
Sourcegraph CEO here. I see the doc mentions Sourcegraph for code search (cool!). Something like ripgrep is indeed better for your case, a single person who just needs to search code in local directories on their own machine. I made a PR for our docs at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/8075 that should clarify this. Sourcegraph is a web-based code search tool that automatically syncs and indexes many r…
I still wish it was easier, it's such a cool tool :) In theory it should be possible to set up inotify watches on local repositories and reindex on changes (perhaps with some throttling logic if it's too heavy), although I understand it's harder than it sounds and my usecase is probably somewhat marginal. I might set it up anyway if my personal infrastructure ever settles.
For now, I've settled on sphinx because it can be easily exported to dash, and tied in to an alfred workflow for search.

I keep my knowledge in a private Git repo managed by https://www.gitbook.com/ . So far it works out great. Going to make it public soon.

tiddlywiki was great until all the browsers stop supporting writing to local files, now saving changes is a pain, making me find something else.
