HPI
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom
My blogging/journalling setup is simple.
I just use GitHub. I just rely on the default repository view on GitHub.com
I create a README.md and add markdown headings to the bottom or to the top (bottom if its a journal, top if it's a blog) and then when I get to 100-800 I create a new repository and repeat.

Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?
Thanks for posting this Ask HN question.
I journal ideas and thoughts about computers and software. I am interested in software architecture, parallelism, async, coroutines, database internals, programming language implementation, software design and the web.

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 <-- this is recent but needs editing
https://github.com/samsquire/ideas5 <-- this is what I'm working on now
https://github.com/samsquire/startups
https://github.com/samsquire/blog <-- thoughts I want to write about, but incomplete
I use README.md on GitHub and create a heading at the bottom for each entry. I use Typora on Windows or the GitHub web interface to edit.

Why messaging is much better than REST for inter-microservice communications
Thanks for this.
I love the idea of breaking up a flow into separately scheduled but still linear message flow.
I wrote about a similar idea in ideas2
https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2#84-communication-code-sl...
The idea is that I enrich my code with comments and a transpiler schedules different parts of the code to different machines and inserts communication between blocks.
I read about how Zookeeper algorithm for transactionality and robustness to messages being dropped, which is interesting reading.

How does Mats compare?
LMAX disruptor has a pattern where you split up each side of an IO request into two events, to avoid blocking in an handler. So you would always insert a new event to handle an IO response.

A fully open-source and end-to-end encrypted note taking alternative to Evernote
I am more likely to journal and blog if the friction to creating a post is as simple as opening a document and writing. The important part of journalling or note software is that you actually create notes. I did use Hetzner to run a Wordpress blog but it had an overhead of server expenses and keeping Wordpress up-to-date.
I don't want my data trapped in a proprietary system where it is difficult to export, so I use plaintext. I looked into Publii [1] but I prefer my current plaintext setup. Today I journal software ideas, computer ideas, startup ideas and community ideas on GitHub in the open, as README.md files. My journal is all public on GitHub at the following links. There are over 550+ journal entries, I am sure you shall enjoy them.

First Personal Search Engine Prototype
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.

I put my whole life into a single database
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.

Gains I'm Seeing from My Second Brain Tool
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

Electric Tables – an experiment in personal databases
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.

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
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.

Questions about Emacs
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...

Need opinions regarding developing a browser extension(firefox) for taking notes from a webpage
Their author have developed a more complex script collection (HPI, https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html) witch is a bit confuse, but seems alive and for certain aspects do extra things then memacs (https://github.com/novoid/Memacs).
