Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement. Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc. My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take notes, [2] keep track of links you enjoyed reading, or [3] save links to things you want to learn about in the future, then I recommend doing it in your blog. At the end of your life you'll be able to look back at your own personal wikipedia of knowledge. Posts (maybe) worth reading: * Design tips for developers: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html (was fairly controversial when I posted it previously) * My previous company's tech stack: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech-stack https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech... Also a currently-unmaintained site: https://mentalmodels.co https://mentalmodels.co

Have you tried TiddlyWiki by the way? You can Google me on it. I have a couple comments about it on how I've used it to give myself a daily questionnaire.

I really like the design of your page! It has very clear navigation and the side menu makes it easy to jump between posts and even get an overview of the current post. This is something a lot of blog sites lack.

  Thanks for the kind words. A sidebar was my primary requirement when choosing which framework to use. It’s just a modified VuePress in case you’re interested.

Interesting. Could you add an RSS feed?

  I realised overnight that it's easiest to just subscribe to the github commits: https://github.com/kiwicopple/paul.copplest.one/commits/master.atom https://github.com/kiwicopple/paul.copplest.one/commits/mast...
