i'm someone who keeps a ton of github knowledge bases:

- https://github.com/sw-yx/spark-joy/

- https://github.com/sw-yx/launch-cheatsheet/

- https://react-typescript-cheatsheet.netlify.app/

i should be your ideal user.

i was very excited at the idea, but tried out the product and its clearly not there yet. but keep going.

specifics:

- i was looking for search scoped to my trove

- collaborative editing, if it exists, is not obvious

this is what i was looking for and i stopped once i didnt see them exist.

good luck!

I recently created a web application for curating one big shared public knowledge base.[1] Its contribution system is conceptually based on GitHub's pull requests and StackOverflow reputation.

It's focused on tips for learning resources, so it seems ideal for your cheat sheets. Currently, creating lists of SDKs, tools, etc. is not very well supported, but we are working on it. And I already use it for these things, see for example my list of Flutter libraries.[2]

I guess it's also kind-of similar to Trove, but it is more focused on creating one curated catalog of knowledge rather than personal recommendation lists (although that is also possible now via personal study profiles, e.g., [3]).

cool - yea i think some amount of personal perspective/curation is what makes this special to me. nice project!
Thanks for trying it out, and for this candid feedback! You're right, the product is still a ways off from becoming a true "GitHub for knowledge" — things like "forking" a trove, live collaborative editing, and more powerful search are some of the missing elements.

We'll keep working!

That launch cheatsheet link is going in my "Entrepreneurship Journal" Google Doc ;D
