This is amazing. Curious how you search or go back to refer them? Have you considered porting this to a doc generator like mdBook(https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook).

I usually remember when I've written on something even if I've forgotten the details. I tend to be able to do a Cmd-f search of the README for a keyword to turn up what I'm looking for.

All that said, I've been contemplating moving all of this into a Gatsby-powered site with either a custom search backend or Algolia to make it all a bit more accessible.

Got it. I've been trying to solve a similar problem as well. I also stumbled upon this Gatsby theme for such a scenario (https://github.com/aengusmcmillin/gatsby-theme-brain). It's inspired from Roam Research's bidirectional links to notes.
A script that smushed them all together would make them easier to browse and read and enable control+f search.
I use the same format, but I write everything in Tiddlywiki which has a search function.
