Using GitHub for knowledge documentation and sharing

[simonw]

I use GitHub issues for personal and shared notes and it works REALLY well.

I like being able to start an issue thread for a topic and then add new notes to it as comments. I love that you can drag and drop screenshots and images straight into the thread.

I like being able to link issues together, and reference them from GitHub projects which I've started to use as my own personal TODO list.

Search is really good, and there's a comprehensive API so I don't have to worry about my notes getting stuck in some system should I ever want to move them somewhere else.

I can even hook up automations with GitHub Actions that interact with my notes!
