This same exact thought has been bugging me for a long time. Over our startup (~30ish people), we've experimented on writing on confluence, didn't work. We've tried setting up the knowledge repo [0], it didn't scale much (probably because of our infrastructure). Currently we're dumping everything to tara.ai.

What I have found is, it just hasn't worked so far in terms of discoverability and search. So far, GitLab wikis have been seamless. Archival is fine with them, but search and knowledge re-assessment has been not so easy. My ideal solution (of course, haven't done so far in our company) is to have Knowledge management system similar to Roam/Obsidian/Logseq/Athens/TiddlyWiki. But we haven't figured out any mechanisms to host Obsidian. I've been personally putting the knowledge to Roam/Obsidian graphs. Even if we figured out to host, probably team collaboration would be pain in the ass.

So far, we're dumping everything to tara.ai and GitLab wikis, hoping that someday we might be able to index these data and then combine everything for search.

This also has been a topic with few of my friends for a long time now. Knowledge management at startup/corporate level is fragmented it seems. If we had tools to self-host networked-thoughts, it'd be great.
