After writing about using text files for my personal wiki, I've found others who do the same.
- Derek Sivers wrote a blog post about why he uses text files.
- Ricky Kresslein read Derek's blog post and migrated his notes, wrote a blog post and recorded a video.
- Sebastian Daschner recorded a video about a simple knowledge system using plain-text files and asciidoc.
- Nick Janetakis, a former guest on the Beyond Blocks podcast, wrote a small Bash script to maintain his plain text files, which I've added to my NixOS configuration.
Do you know anyone else who uses plain text files for their notes?
If you don't, I'd recommend it.
