• Can Git or any other VCS be used as a database instead of SQL/NoSQL ones? Have you ever seen such a thing?

  Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend. Source: 6 months ago

• Looking for notion/jira alternatives (self-hosted) (JavaScript free)

  Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control Https://github.com/gollum/gollum. Source: 6 months ago

• Atlassian prepares to abandon on-prem server products

  For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis. Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Hermes, an Open Source Document Management System

  That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software: https://github.com/gollum/gollum Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki.

• Take More Screenshots

  A paid tool in this direction is APSE (https://apse.io) which bills itself as a personal search engine that OCRs intermittent screencaps. I loved the idea, but in practice it lacked polish. I agree that additional metadata like foremost application filepath/url would take this to another level. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Gains I'm Seeing from My Second Brain Tool

  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 everything 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... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
