📚 Fifteen years of my personal BibTeX database!

Fifteen years ago, I started keeping my own BibTeX database — just a plain text file edited manually, line by line.
Later I switched to JabRef, and everything became much smoother!

Over the years, the database has grown to almost 2,000 entries — and it’s no longer just a list of references, but a snapshot of the knowledge I’ve interacted with.
Because I always fill in the Abstract field, full-text search now lets me literally “remember everything.”

Among all my long-term “personal productivity” projects, this one has turned out to be the most valuable.

My dear personal knowledge base managers, how do you group/split your notes?

Let me explain.

1. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" a note where we have everything about Python syntax (variable definition, functions, classes, if/else, for, etc.).

Or

2. We have a note "Python" and links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Or maybe

3. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" note that has links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Now I'm thinking about how to make it comfortable to search/read it in the future.

Czy mamy w polskim #fedi osoby #Logseq-owe?

Porozmawiałbym, wymienił doświadczenia, ciekawi mnie zwłaszcza wykorzystanie w zespole i synchronizacja. Jakiej używacie? Ja przez git-a

Strona trochę podkłamuje sloganem, bo Logseq to DUUUUUŻO więcej niż #PersonalKnowledgeBase

I'm surprised there no off-the-shelf #selfhosted solution for scraping and indexing browsing history for #personalknowledgebase use...

I've been developing my note-taking and organizational skills over the last few years.
I use a tool called LogSeq, though there are others with their own pros/cons.
I'm also reading Building a Second Brain, a book on this topic, which is helping refine my processes somewhat.
It's an interesting space.
