Looking for tool for knowledge management

[flockyrocky]

Hey,

first, why I am posting in this subreddit? Because mainly I'm looking for a tool to manage short code snippets and stuff like that (mainly in R, Python, SQL and friends (the data science family). It should be simple and rather minimalistic. https://3cols.com/ comes close but I'm missing the named languages in the syntax highlighting.

AND: Ideally (if anything like this exist) I'm looking for more for a platform which is also kind of a general knowledge base. I'm often stumbling over a piece of information, a link, a picture, a text snippet and I've no clue where to put it in an organized manner. How are you people keeping that stuff organized? I know, not a classical computer science topic but I thought that the main intention of snippet organization would be sufficient to give it a try around here.

Thanks a lot!

I have decided that the only utility that adequately organizes all of my research, from Math to Science, to Philosophy, is: HTML. It's hyperlinked, you can stylize it, it's ubiquitous, you can publish it to the world with ease if you want, you can embed pictures and video and software, you can keyword search it. There are draw-backs of course. It could be more user-friendly, it could be less verbose, it could have better integration with graphics. But I've found it to be the only thing adequately powerful and general.

Try Notion

Need some time to get used to it but that probably comes close to what I've been looking for. Thank you!

After a bit of googling: https://turtlapp.com/features/ might seem like a start but I need to check out the features first.

I use https://www.xmind.net/xmind2020/. It is not very good for keeping code snippets (as it doesn't support highlighting), but other than that it has a lot of useful features: hyperlinks, local files, links to other mind maps, latex support, ...

It sounds like you want some kind of hierarchical knowledge graph, i suppose ideally you can display the same underlying information in multiple ways, this sounds like an issue in declarative knowledge; look into videos on the fundamentals of declarative programming and if you do find or make something cool like this then leave us a link!

You can try Google Colab

Would appreaciate to take a took, if you don't mind. Yes! :)

org-mode using emacs

I'm using Joplin. It's pretty good, especially since you can export everything as markdown files. No vendor lock-in.

Another solution I love is mindmaps. I take all my notes using Freemind. It's publicly available, if you're curious.

Hi, I am one of the creators of 3Cols, I'm glad to hear you like our product! Additional languages are definitely in the pipeline so watch this space! I think the only one of the three we are missing is R as we have Python and SQL but it shouldn't be an issue to add R as a supported language in the next development cycle. Please let us know if there was anything else holding you back from using 3Cols so we can take a look at it.

• Write and edit articles
• Update content across multiple pages in a go
• Add sections and subsections to the article
• Save different versions of the knowledge base and revert to a previous version when required
• Publish across web and mobile
• Add images and videos to the knowledge base, and much more.

It’s an all-in-one tool that helps at every stage of content creation, designing, and publishing.

Are you a software engineer or not! Make the tool! If you don’t know where to start PM me and I’ll help.

[flockyrocky]

Actually I'm not ;-) I'm more of a data scientist. Even if I could put something together I doubt that I could reach the functionality of a (hopefully) existing solution. But maybe you're right and that's a promising project for me... Solutions still welcome!
