I’m looking for a knowledge management system, or at least I think I am. Scrolling around in a notepad ++ of more than 300k lines gets to be a chore. Yeah, I document just about everything I do. They say that we never really forget anything, and that it’s our faulty recall system. Well, my recall system is shit. While Notepad++ does allow searching, I guess I’m looking for something a bit more elegant.
I’m looking for something I can dump my notes into a database and be able to search them for a particular command or phrase. I do use ByteStash for all my compose files, but ByteStash doesn’t let me search for commands, or command strings like I keep in my notes, or at least I haven’t been able to get ByteStash to do that. It’s pretty jammy for compose files tho.
Am I asking for too much? Perhaps someone uses something like this for their notes and such or even something entirely different for notes and documentation.
Kind Regards
I have a feeling you’re looking for something different, but: mine is a big todo.txt document that I open with fzf. I just add lines to it and tack on @keywords.
If your needs are more hierarchical and structured, fzf, I’d still try to stick with a plain-text and fuzzy-search based solution, and split stuff up into different files.
IMHO, you’re starting from a good place (plain text files). Maybe you just need a little tooling for searching and keyword filtering.
