Note Taking

I've tried a lot of note taking tools, but the only thing that works for me is simple directories of MarkDown files + Git version control. In fact, this website is made with these simple tools.

Here's a template: https://github.com/asvarga/MkDocs-Template

Benefits

• Free
• Highly Portable: minimal lock-in/dependency on tools/formats
• Version Control: they're just files/directories
• Great Tooling
• Customizable/Scriptable

Tools

• VSCode: General Editing
  • Foam: Wikis
  • Marp: Simple Slideshows
• GitJournal: Mobile Editing
• MkDocs: Publishing
  • GithHub Pages: Hosting
    • Deploy MkDocs: GitHub Action
  • Material for MkDocs: Pretty Themes
  • EZLinks: WikiLinks
  • More Plugins

Altogether, I'm able to edit files and publish them to this website all from my phone.
