Ask HN: How do you organize libs and repos you like?
I've now starred 148 repos on Github, which is probably nothing compared to some people but it's still a lot to hunt through when I am looking for something.
Anyone have a good way to re-find utilities or libraries when you need them later?
- whichdan 13y agoHere's a really bad, but feasible idea: create a git repo with a folder for each category, and make each starred repo a submodule under a given folder.

Before I created a wiki, I had notes in various file formats and more than 10,000 bookmarks in Firefox. One of my greatest regrets in life is not using Org mode sooner for notetaking. (My life has been uneventful.)

If there's too much friction adding items, you're less likely to do it. Also, I'll sometimes add certain keywords/phrases in the "notes" field that match how I anticipate I'll try finding it again. For example, if a Django app uses redis but only for optional features, I'll still add "redis" to the "notes" field. In six months when I'm trying to remember the project, the only thing I may remember is it featured redis in some capacity. From there, it's pretty easy to find.
