braindump: low-tech dump of my neurons

  • It's not a SciFi/high-tech thing, don't be excited (sorry);
  • It's not a software project;
  • It's just for me (but you can read/access if you want to).

By low-tech I mean using a keyboard (a good one, preferably).

What?

This is a not-so-structured space where I put information I want to publish and access in the future, even if it does not fit a blog post, an item on a list etc. It's just a Git repository with a bunch of markdown files.

If you suffer from:

  • The many-open-tabs syndrome (having dozens of open tabs on your Web browser -- and you open another browser when need to navigate),
  • The many-loose-lists syndrome, or
  • The I-email-myself syndrome

and you are familiar with Git and markdown, then you can organize your information like this (or just open another tab group -- on Firefox, Ctrl+E).

What Kind of Information?

  • Anything I want to read but don't have time now (so a list of links);
  • A "digested" series of information (text snippets written by me, links etc.) by a subject of interest.

This would be useful to share some information even if I don't have time to write a proper text to blog/send to somebody, to list "good practices" about something I've read, my opinions about a topic etc.

Which Language?

English, Portuguese or anything I can read and write and want to use in the moment (sorry, but I'm not worried about you -- this is for me).

May I Help?

For sure! If you want to contribute or comment about something, please create a pull request, a comment on some file/line/commit etc.

How to Structure Files

Just create a markdown file about the subject and put information on it. Nothing more than that.

Why Not a Wiki Software?

Convenience: I prefer to edit text files using my text editor and Git for version control as I use it daily for programming.

Why Not to Blog About Each Topic?

The information does not necessarily need to be structured in a proper text for posting on a blog. It's just a place to store something I'll access later on. On the other hand, many topics/files probably will evolve in a way it can be posted on a blog (there's no rule anyway).
