I would love a network of people’s knowledge base / personal notes. I have several people’s kb-sites bookmarked, which I check in from time to time - I always learn a ton! I have been using Obsidian to take notes of everything I learn - my own KB - and have been thinking of how the share the notes out publicly, while still keeping the informal, private, low-friction note taking. For those who share their notes/kb publicly, whats your strategy?

> and have been thinking of how the share the notes out publicly, while still keeping the informal, private, low-friction note taking. That's exactly what I want to do too. Increasing the friction makes people less likely to share, so I want the community to feel very casual, so people aren't afraid to post even single-sentence brain dumps. > For those who share their notes/kb publicly, whats your strategy? You mean those who have already shared them? The advantage of a centralized site would be improved searchability, so you'd help more people. Since I don't really aim to make money from this, it'd be open source, sort of like a Neocities vibe. Would you like to email me at hi@stavros.io if you're interested (and whoever else reads this comment, please feel free). If I do end up making this I'll make it invite-only so I don't have to worry about spam (at least at first), and this would be a nice way to have a few early testers.

I keep two TiddlyWiki [0] files, one public, one private. If I feel that a certain note can become its own piece of knowledge in a Zettlekasten fashion and can have any value for someone else, I put it in my public file and I run a script that will copy it to my hosting provider. My public site is a single file! [1]. [0] https://tiddlywiki.com/ https://tiddlywiki.com/ [1] https://ramirosalas.com/ https://ramirosalas.com/

  Me too, I find Tiddlywiki perfect for this kind of use! You may have seen it, but it is recently made a php script that let you save directly to your server and create a public version where private tiddlers are removed or censored [0]. That way you only need to manage a single file. But it sounds as you have found a good way of doing it already:) [0] https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/GRkskZRzj_o https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/GRkskZRzj_o
