HPI VS futurecoder

Take a look at https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI

It builds an entire ecosystem around your data where it is programmatic rather than just dumping text files. The point of HPI is to build your own stuff onto it.

The next stop after Karlicoss is https://github.com/seanbreckenridge/HPI_API which creates a REST API on top of your HPI without any additional configuration.

If you want to get really fancy, you can use https://github.com/hpi/authenticated_hpi_api or https://github.com/hpi/hpi-graph so you can theoretically expose it to the web (I am squatting the HPI org, I am not the creator of HPI). I made the authentication method JWTs so you can create JWTs where it will give access to only certain services' data.

If this is interesting to you, you should check out the interesting work that karlicoss and others have done with "Human Programming Interface" [0] / [1].

I've been kicking this idea around for quite a few years and have gone through multiple iterations before finding HPI and tossing out all my work in favor of building off theirs.

HPI is a great platform to build your own stuff off and benefit from all the work that has already been done because imo building a good foundation is the hardest part. Sean Breckenridge's HPI-API is super interesting and useful, could likely be worked into this search engine concept, quite sure Sean actually has both newsboat and Firefox modules already made.

I wrote modules of my own and made an authentication wrapped HPI-API and a GraphQL instance but currently in the middle of an infra move so nothing super cool to show off.

Lots of interesting stuff in collecting and leveraging your data. If any of this stuff catches your eye, I highly encourage browsing karlicoss' exobrain [2] because there are some interesting things in there.

My version of this: Human Programming Interface https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI

It's a bit heavier on the automatic data aggregation side, but has some manual inputs as data sources too.

This is my approach!

I'm using HPI [0] as a sort of universal API for almost all of my data (manual notes, bookmarks, instant messages, internet comments, etc)

Then I use it in tools like Orger [1] and Promnesia [2] which function as my second brain

I suppose HPI[0] kind of is that? ;)

A community repository would be super nice for those. Something along the lines of DefinitelyTyped[1], all managed through git, easily integrates with other stuff (like shown on npmjs.org when the @types package exists), allows maintainers to "own" the adapters they contribute. It's really the N adapters * T time per adapter that really makes it hard for one person to do. That plus monitoring API changes/flakiness of each adapter to make sure the data is still solid.

I'm working on tools/projects to unify, access, interact and use my personal data for quantified self, knowledge management, etc.

A couple of examples:

- https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme

- https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme

Would very much love to discuss it with other people, collaborate etc.

Emacs is born as a human-computer interface, not specifically a PIM/PKM systems (Personal Information Management systems, Personal Knowledge Management systems), those are born at Xerox Parc and they never really took off, unfortunately. You can find a small intro like https://doi.org/10.1145/1480506.1480524 you can find many research articles and thesis on the ACM and other places, try https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/downloads/Voit2011.pdf by /u/publicvoit today in Emacs the most popular of such systems in org-roam, a wrapper/accessing tool for org-mode, witch is probably one of the most powerful, Memacs is another classic one that do something more and something less, Dimitri Gerasimov have it's own public HPI https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html with Grasp and Promnesia extensions for Emacs and probably many others do exists but they are used/developed by a small community and while in the "old" wiki book before, "personal note/evernote boom", now "zettelkasten boom" interest keep being there documentation especially at newcomer level is nearly zero... There are research papers, few whole books, tons of articles, but nothing like a complete and simple learning path...

I have recently found a neat new (to me) resource for learning Python. It's called futurecoder and you can find it at https://futurecoder.io.

If you’re interested in learning Python, i’ve been messing around with this site today and it’s been pretty cool! link

here's how I started my journey (SWE at aerospace now)

1.https://futurecoder.io/

futurecoder — interactive, includes integrated debuggers, enhanced tracebacks, hints for exercises and more

I really enjoyed https://futurecoder.io when starting. It makes diving deeper into udemy courses very easy, and helps to actually read and understand code.

As for courses, there are many great, free Python courses on YouTube, but I recommend this Harvard CS50 Intro to Programming with Python course. Or, if you are looking for something a bit more interactive, check out futurecoder.io. I just discovered it recently, and it is great (completely free, as well).
