    A Personal Search Engine
    Maybe APSE is what you're looking for [1]. A while back the founder sent me a link after one of my blog posts hit HN. It's a tool that continuously records your desktop and offers text search of <i>everything</i> through OCR. I personally found the idea interesting, but I was too afraid to ever try it out. The mere idea of a video record existing of everything that's going on on my computer, even if it's never supposed to leave the computer, was too scary for me. [1] https://apse.io.

    I tried a few different options for note taking, including Foam[1], Roam[2], and now Dendron[3]. Dendron has been the best fit for me because it's built on VS Code (I already know my way around and can be more productive in it), and has a great team & community supporting it. Markdown in a git repo is so much better than anything else I've tried. [1] https://foambubble.github.io/foam/.
