I've done this for years and it has saved me many times. I just make a new markdown file everyday and often search through them with ripgrep.
One secret here is to have a good UX for adding metadata. For example, in obsidian a search window pops up when you write `#[[`. Or when you type `#` to create a tag, a window with all preexisting tags shows up.
However, lately I've been working on a new side project in order to additionally automatically record/collect what I am doing on digital devices. Basically I am building a "personal" spyware/data collection software suite. Kind of in the same realm as ms recall but more focused on security/privacy with sensible cryptographic defaults where needed.

- sureglymop 7mo agoThank you for the links/resources! I've come across these in my research and they book look interesting. I've contemplated contributing to Timelinize but ultimately decided I want to create my own thing, also for educational purposes.
- solarkraft 8mo agoI’m highly interested in this! Would love to see what you come up with!
