Thanks for creating this website and well done.
I journal in long form documents rather than create lots of small files, so this website is suitable for me. I use GitHub's markdown editor or IntelliJ Markdown editor to update my journal. I use markdown headings and number them. Each journal entry goes to the bottom. GitHub's website has a table of contents button in the top left of README.md. You can search the headings which I think is helpful.
I think people could use this approach of markdown headings for each journal entry when updating posts on Pressn't
When I get to an arbitrary number of entries, I create a new GitHub repository and repeat the process and append an incremented number to the repository name. Then I share that repository of journal entries online and that journal only receives updates or occasional rewriting but never new entries. I link to old entries from future journal entries within the document (GitHub headings are linkable, if you hover over them you can copy a URL) or across repositories.

Do you generate anchor links for each markdown heading? This might be useful to link into long form documents.

- DanielVZ 4y agoI just read through some of your “Ideas” repo. Congrats on being so prolific. You can make a table of contents by using [TOC], and you can make a link to any heading using it as a #id link: https://app.pressnt.net/post/4/#so-the-tldr-here-is https://app.pressnt.net/post/4/#so-the-tldr-here-is The markdown is based on python-markdown. Here’s the documentation on the TOC extension I’m using: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/toc/ https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/toc/
