A few weeks ago there was a post[0][1] on hn from a guy who wrote a daily til for a whole year.

I stole his idea[1] and created jekyll blog on Github, I can just create a new .md file and put the things for the til down. With the new upload feature from github you can also just write the md file locally and just drop it in.

I like it so far, just need to get in the habit of writing it down daily.

How do you keep all the markdown files organized and easily searchable? Or do you never reference back to them after you've taken the notes?

I also started something similar at https://jacobsims.github.io/til/ -- to search them you can just use GitHub search, which is available in that top bar. I also spent a bit more effort creating category pages that look like fancy little tags (due to limits of Jekyll, I can't paginate them, but it will work for a while anyway).

I do plan to reference back to the notes or else they would be meaningless. My current solution is to add categories to the posts and the use jekyll to generate a page where I create a headline for each category and link to all related posts there. This may not be the final solution, it was thrown together one evening so there's improvement.

I don't know how this will scale since I just started this project.

Understandable, thanks for the reply
