Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git
> I’ve been running that for a couple of years in this repo: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup - which provides a backup of my blog’s PostgreSQL Django database (first converted to SQLite and then dumped out using sqlite-
I'm curious, what is the reason you chose not to use pgdump, but instead opted to convert to to sqlite and then dump the DB using sqlite-diffable?
On a project I'm working on, I'd like to dump our Postgres schema into individual files for each object (i.e., one file for each table, function, stored proc, etc.), but haven't spent enough time to see if pgdump could actually do that. We're just outputting files by object type for now (one tables, function, and stored procs files).

WordPress Core to start using SQLite Database
My personal blog runs on Django + PostgreSQL, and I got fed up of not having a version history of changes I made to my content there.
I solved that by setting up a GitHub repo that mirrors the content from my database to flat files a few times a day and commits any changes.
It's worked out really well so far. It wasn't much trouble to setup and it's now been running for nearly three years, capturing 1400+ changes.
I'd absolutely consider using the same technique for a commercial project in the future:

How Postgres Triggers Can Simplify Your Back End Development
If you really, really need to be able to see a SQL schema representing the current state, a cheap trick is to run an automation on every deploy that snapshots the schema and writes it to a GitHub repository.
I do a version of that for my own (Django-powered) blog here: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup/blob/main...

Blog with Markdown and Git, and degrade gracefully through time
My blog is Django and PostgreSQL on Heroku, but last year I decided I wanted a reliable long-term public backup... so I set up a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to back it up to a git repository.
Bonus feature: since it runs nightly it gives me diffs if changes I make to my content, including edits to old posts.
The backups are in this repo: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup

Daily work journal/note-taking app suggestions
It crossed my mind to do a daily Jupyter notebook but I typically don’t need them to be interactive code. The closest solution that I’ve found looks like: GitJournal does anyone have experience with this or other solutions?

ZK access via mobile phone?
If you are working with text files and git, gitjournal works well for me. It defaults to Markdown, but if you just edit in raw mode, you can do anything in the text file.

Blogging from my phone with GitJournal
I've been searching for a while for something that would let me simply publish from my phone. I actually saw GitJournal in the Play store a couple of times, but I assumed it would only use GitHub to back up its own proprietary file format and so be useful.

Best site/programm for creating documents
There are plenty of desktop/mobile apps for working with markdown. (I've been using Notable (desktop) and GitJournal (mobile ) for an Evernote-like experience.) And markdown is often extended with support for internal links like a wiki, attachments, diagramming (see Mermaid), and easy export to other formats like HTML.
