This repo contains what are essentially wikis constructed using Markdown files.
I am using the Obsidian tool to construct these repos.
- KnowledgeSystems - Information on Constructing and Organizing this type of System, and the Obsidian tool
- KnowledgeSoftware - Notes on Software Development
Refer to the Readme on Knowledge Systems for more information about the why and how.
Advantages
- Text Based These systems have the advantage of keeping your data in text format where it is not linked to any proprietary format. Additionally, as a software developer, I am already familiar with Markdown, so that is natural to me.
- Zettelkasten Systems Zettelkasten systems are are a form of indexeing and linking documents while also providing references to original source material. Zettelkastens precede the internet, and are a predecessor of both HTML and Wikis.
- Publishable Tools like Obsidian have the capability of publishing Notes from this system directly to a web page.
Disadvantages
- Markdown Limitations Many things in markdown are cumbersome when compared to other tools, such as creating and editing tables. Obsidian and other tools are gaining ground, but there is still a learning curve for markdown.
